Description

Sometimes when we are cooped up in the house a good tear jerker movie will provide us that emotional release that helps relieve tension. Maybe a good romance movie will trigger memories that were forgotten from long ago. Romantic comedies can bring a family together to laugh and bond with each other. When all else fails and you are at the end of your rope, it doesn’t make you a bad parent to plop down your overactive kids, open up a bag chips, give em a 2 liter, and put on Toy Story to give you 180 minutes of peace and quiet. But, sometimes you just get that itch. That thing that you can’t explain. It’s an emptiness that can only be filled by watching an impossibly handsome hunk of a man, clothed in camo, slamming a greasy bad guy,   face first,     down on the tines of a garden rake, while rescuing a young boy. When that happens, Extraction is the movie for you!   The movie is streaming on Netflix, and it stars Chris Hemsworth as a mercenary for hire named Tyler Rake. The first 10 minutes establish the fact that Rake is wound up tighter that Dick’s hat band, suffers from a traumatic loss, and not only does not fear death, might be looking forward to it. He accepts a job to rescue a kidnapped drug dealer’s son from a rival drug dealer. The odds, as you would expect in this type of movie, are hugely against him, but of course that does not deter him in the least. The action starts and does not stop as him and the kidnapped boy are on the run from everybody. Everybody double crosses everybody. The boy’s father sends his best man to get his son back from Rake which leads to a fantastic single-take fight scene that lasts 11 minutes and 30 seconds. The best way to describe the fight scenes in this movie is to imagine that somebody killed Thor’s dog, and he went John Wick on everybody!   The movie is a hair less than 2 hours, Rated R for Bloody violence, serious bloody violence, I have no idea what the body count is, but easily in the hundreds with a S.   This is the first movie that Sam Hargrave has directed.  He is the Marvel stunt coordinator for the Marvel movies, and it shows. The stunts are off the chain, and since he has worked with Chris Hemsworth, I’m sure that didn’t hurt either. The screenplay was written by Joe Russo, also worked on some Marvel films.   Netflix ain’t putting out no junk. This is a quality production with a big name actor and a really good cast. A year ago this could have been released into theaters and it would have had a great box office.   If you love Chris Hemsworth, and honestly how could you not, and you like an action movie that once it starts, never stops, you will love this. If you don’t I don’t know what to tell you.   My Score: a full 6Pk of canned whoop ass flavored Budweisers
