  1. Apr 24, 2020 · It’s a gnarly kill, right through the eyes of one of the hundreds of expendable extras. Such grotesquerie signifies just how hard the R-rating will be on this Netflix release; heads are treated poorly, broken bones protrude and bodies are flung from buildings and riddled with bullets.

    Extraction is available to stream on Netflix.

    While its story might be thin, Extraction, as a pure white-knuckle action flick, is a supremely impressive endeavor. It's an explosive, gauntlet-style journey into the streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh through the eyes, ears, and (many) guns of a miserable mercenary played by Thor's Chris Hemsworth.

    You can add Extraction to Netflix's short list of huge action flicks that should be viewed on your biggest screen available. Though unlike Michael Bay's numbing 6 Underground, or even the cartoon-y carnage of Polar, Extraction manages to take some of the better elements of Fury Road, John Wick, Dredd, and other frantic "human target" crucibles and deliver a rough and tumble redemption story featuring a broken-inside black ops soldier tasked with rescuing a kidnapped teen. The action is the star here, no doubt, but the plot, while but a whisper, is still weighty enough to suffice.

    Is Extraction necessarily good or grand enough to tout the Avengers: Endgame reunion between the Russos (who produce), Hemsworth, and Hargrave? Probably not. In the very least, it's interesting, and Hargrave has crafted an honorable first entry into the realm of action cinema. Even if viewers' only takeaway from this is the long, crazy one-shot, it's a better impression than you'll get from most shoot 'em-ups.

    Indian star Randeep Hooda is also on hand, as a wild card foil for Hemsworth's Tyler, giving the film an extra formidable fighter so that Tyler doesn't feel like the only Winter Solider of the bunch. Extraction is a whiz-bang example of "cliches are cliches because they work." Arguably, the best action films have the simplest spines. Using one of the world's most densely populated cities as its storyline sandbox, the film's able to create a gritty, claustrophobic feeling without having its main characters get trapped in a building or some other enclosed structure.

    Extraction works because its simple, yet sufficient, story allows the film's action to take center stage. If the stunt work were mediocre, the entire thing would be an utter waste of time. Thankfully though, Extraction boasts an exhaustingly awesome showcase of expertly choreographed fists, knives, guns, and explosions. If you enjoyed the hard-hitting showdowns between Bucky and Steve in the Captain America films, you'll dig this flick.

  7. Bruce Willis can deliver a good action movie and Extraction is primed for humorous quirky relationship with younger actors, he has done this gig before in RED. However, he looks constantly disgruntled and unsympathetic here.
