Extraction is an American action thriller film directed by former stuntman turned director Sam Hargrave and written by Joe Russo and Ande Parks. Starring; Chris Hemsworth, Rudraksh Jaiswal and Randeep Hooda in the lead roles. The movie is based on the novel called Ciudad. It was released on 24th April 2020 on Netflix.
This is in my opinion a solid action flick. Despite having an average plot, it makes the audience engaged through the cat and mouse chase sequences. The action director has done a brilliant job. The cinematography is also quite good especially in the 11 minute long car chase scene; the combat sequences are outstandingly captured. The casting of the film is appropriate.
Chirs Hemsworth provides the right amount of entertainment to the audience. Rudraksh Jaiswal, as Ovi Mahajan, also does a commendable job; Pankaj Tripathi makes the audience energized despite having the screen time of only 15 seconds. Randeep Hooda has made a mark for himself in Hollywood with this performance. He has showcased himself as someone who can truly commingle into any role he signs up for. The direction is satisfactory, not much because Sam Hargrave was a stuntman before and this is his directorial debut. The film knows exactly what it wants to set out and has delivered.
The execution is fine and to see Chris in a role other than Thor is really exciting. Although the story is not so new, it will still keep the audience entertained and hooked. The screenplay is satisfactory and the dialogues are well written and delivered by all the cast members.
So at last I would like to say that it’s a onetime watch with great action sequences. Had it been released on big screens, the audience would have had a blast. My rating for the film is 3/5 and I recommended it to those who are great action movie fanatics.
