Review of Extraction (2020) by Tvjerry — 25 Apr 2020
Fast on the heels of Liam Hemsworth's latest, Dangerous Game on Quibi (my review), comes this even more violent, action-packed flick from his big brother Chris. He plays a mercenary who's hired to rescue a crime lord's kidnapped son in Bangladesh.
They fight their way across a city with a constant barrage of human obstacles. This is the first directorial effort by Sam Hargrave, who was stunt coordinator on Avengers:Endgame and Captain America: Civil War (writer/director of those, Joe Russo, wrote this).
His skills are the standout: insane car chases, intense fights, absurd body count and incredible camerawork. Other than the almost-continuous well-staged violence, there's not much about the plot or performances that matters.
Fans of the genre will get plenty of bruises and blows.
