Review of Extraction (2020) by Blacksun — 25 Apr 2020

Extraction really clicked for me. It's a solid action flick. Don't watch it for the plot, as it's quite basic. It's a story that's been told before. The choreography, camera work, stunts and action however are top notch. Better than most Bond movies. Anyone who can't see this needs to re-watch some of these scenes in Extraction. We've got long single-shot (seemingly)scenes with incredible camera work, flying impossibly in all directions while the action is non stop and thrilling. I've seen COUNTLESS tough-guy movies just like this that are of a much poorer caliber. Extraction is solid film-making and a fun ride. The ending didn't really satisfy me though. There's no message or theme to walk away with.

The older I get the more convinced that most critics and 40% of the public are full of #$@%. And hey, whatever, that's fine. No skin off my back. I'm just glad I have my own taste and can form my own opinions without looking to others or the status quo for direction. So many people don't have that. So I'm lucky, I guess.
