Who's Responsible?

Chris Hemsworth drops Extraction Cast  Behind the Scenes Images

• I gave this movie a watch because it's written by Joe Russo.
• Produced by him and his brother Anthony
• Director Sam Hargrave who was Stunt coordinator of the 'Avengers' movies some of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films. He's been around doing stunt work for a while.

Ready to Kick some Ass

• In the past, I would have been like "stuntman making a movie? Yeah right." But ever since the John Wick films, I don't take anything for granted.
• His past work as a stunt coordinator, is obvious throughout this movie.

The Action Scences:

The action scenes will blow your mind.

• There are at least a couple scenes in this movie that are some of the best hand-to-hand combat. I've seen recently in a movie.
• Particularly, there's an eleven minutes (11 minutes) simulated one take. you can tell where some of the cuts are but the effect is pretty seamless and this sequence in particular has the potential to be an Alzheimer in regards to other action scenes.

Dumb Fun:

I think this movie will be studied by stunt coordinators and people who want to work as stunt people.

• It's an extremely violent movie. Chris Hemsworth is killing motherfuckers left and right,
• Ripping off heads.
• Throwing people in the brick walls.
• Tossing people around.
• People are getting hit by trucks and fucking flying in the air.

Check, check and check.

It's really really fun stuff.

Will you Enjoy it?

I know you'll like this movie because you're an action movie junkie. This movie was a lot better than I expected it to be.

Action stills moments before an intense fight scene - BANG! BANG! BANG!

• All that being said it will definitely not be studied for its characterization or its subtlety or its plot. This is a very bare-bones plot.
• Movie doesn't really have that much else to offer beyond the action scenes and Chris Hemsworth's extreme likability and Charisma in the lead role. He's very good in the film.

• He does a lot of the stuff himself the stunt team again. I must say is just remarkable in this movie and they can't be given enough praise. But if you don't really care that much about action films and he'd rather be invested in the characters and then it's not for you.

Final Verdict:

Action in the Jungle

We've come away from the 'Cobras' and the 'Predators' of the 80's where Heroes spouted one-liners and now we have really tragic backstories for our main characters instead. There's still some fun to be had in this movie, but I can understand why some people might actually think it's a little too violent.

I found myself pretty riveted by the action scenes. But you're not going to get that level of attention with the characters in this movie. And sometimes I can really be in the mood for one of those.
