From Thor to Fat Thor and various roles in between, Chris Hemsworth has never been shy about using silliness to subvert his god-like good looks. Drawn like a Times Square caricature of an Abercrombie & Fitch model, the Australian star has always been willing and able to shape the absurdity of his sex appeal into the punchline of a joke that we’re all in on together, or at least use it to suspend our disbelief in a cartoonish movie world that would otherwise be impossible to accept with a straight face. (See: “Blackhat.” No, really, see it — it’s good).
In that light, it’s pretty tempting to laugh when the hot but haunted mercenary Hemsworth plays in “Extraction” is formally introduced…
The narrative and emotional stakes are ported over from any number of programmers; there are no surprises to be had here. And I don't expect anyone to be super comfy with the orientalism. The star rating is for the truly delightful level of carnage and property destruction on display, including but not limited to: a terrific fake one-er, RPG vs. helicopter, a gang of lethal street urchins, and a part where Thor snaps a dude's neck by swatting him with a different dead guy's body. Hit the spot.
There’s one scene everyone’s gonna watch and talk about. I guess the nice thing about. Netflix is ... you can skip right to it and don’t have to worry about the rest?

Great action sequences.
Amazing camera-work.
Stunning acting Chris, Rudhraksh, and Randeep Hooda.
Zero plot.
Poor screenplay.
Mad Randeep Hooda's fight is the main event of the film.
Is it that easy to perform these kinds of operations in the capital city of Bangladesh? I mean one outsider enters in the capital city and kills hundreds of Policemen and the drug lord's men that easy?
Ich darf wieder einen neuen Film reviewen...🙏
Doof nur, dass mehr als der übliche Netflix-Pausenfüller grad nicht drin ist. Doof auch, dass sich am Set von Extraction eigentlich ziemlich talentierte Personen eingefunden haben, die ganz un-eigentlich am Ende doch nicht mehr als uninspirierte B-Ware abgeliefert haben.
Charaktere gibt’s hier nicht, lediglich leere Muskelhüllen, die andere Hüllen durch Wände treten und abseits davon allerhöchstens mal ein bisschen Pipi in den Augen aufbringen, weil - natürlich hat der starke Held den obligatorischen Schicksalschlag im Gepäck. Der Rest ist hochgradig egales Nicht-Erzählen, dafür hat sich „Extraction“ aber auch viel zu sehr in die eigene Action verliebt.
Die ist dafür aber immerhin gut gemacht. In die Hand-to-Hand-Choreografien ist sichtlich Arbeit geflossen, vor allem der Longtake…
Crazy popcorn action fun.
Director Sam Hargrave has a background in stunts, and it shows in Extraction. Think affordable Chad Stahelski. I thought there would be more story. Instead, the action almost never stops.
Chris Hemsworth is a badass dude. He makes a great Thor, but perhaps, an even better leading action actor. His fight work is legit. I’m not sure how much is actually Chris, but it sure looks like him in almost every action scene.
We also have a kid who isn’t annoying. Children can ruin action movies. Ovi doesn’t.
The cast is strong. The action is stronger. Perhaps, Extraction might run too fast at times, but it definitely is the action movie we need right now.

Well, I just typed three paragraphs and (as Letterboxd has done before) it all disappeared. Have you ever just wanted to throw your phone across the room? I didn’t know what to expect from this. Netflix action movies (especially as of late) have done little-to-nothing to keep my interest. Seeing that the Russo’s were involved made me excited, but it was going to be up to this unknown Director to bring it all together. It (absolutely) isn’t a film that is breaking any new ground, and the character development was weak at first. We establish the mission, and the world, but we don’t get much development from Hemsworth and his team. We…
I might be in the minority when it’s all said and done BUT I DONT CARE
Extraction is a fantastic action directorial debut, that carries one of the best action set pieces ever in film. It’s a one shot that straight goes for 20 minutes.. Hemsworth knocks it out of the park in these action scenes and each action scene is carefully carried with care and good editing! So you can actually see everything!
Some people might think the story is shallow, but honestly it feels like a John Wick movie with out the mythology of the world.... for any con that would really be it. This is so much fun!
Here is my full review youtu.be/66Yld-6ynwo
I would trade the crisp physical economy and kinetic bluntness of these John Wick-style action movies for just...some...goddamn...squibs.
