Review of Extraction (2015) by Allan C — 02 Jun 2018

Bruce Willis got top billing in this film and is all over the film poster, but in classic low budget movie bait-and-switch, Willis filmed all his scenes in one day and is hardly in the film. The story involves Willis as a CIA operative who's kidnapped within the first few minutes of the film and it's then up to his son, Kellan Lutz, and real-life MMA champion Gina Carano to rescue him.

When ends up happening is a series of fight scenes that are actually pretty good (not quite John Wick great, but certainly better than average), although I was disappointed that Carano did not have all that many standout fight scenes.

She was amazing in Steven Soderberg's "Haywire" and I'm still waiting to see her in an equally worthy of film since then. Overall, this low budget action film does feature some decent fight sequences that make it worth watching, but the film's overall low production value and rather thin story do make it pretty obvious to audiences that this is not a something of "Die Hard" or "Haywire" of quality.

And D.B. Sweeney looks as if he too may have filmed all of his scenes in one day as well.
