Critics Consensus

Spectacular stunt work and an electric performance from Chris Hemsworth can't save Extraction from being dragged down by its aimless violence.

The action is what saves Extraction from being totally written off considering its story and characters are so generic - the screenplay from Joe Russo (Avengers: Endgame) does it no favours.

Rated: 2.5/5

Head shot, body shot, Hemsworth sad, brown people bad, head shot, body shot. That's the rhythm of Extraction, and yes, it's also a white-savior narrative.

The body count is off the scale, yet you may well find the cartoonish violence oddly lulling. I did.

The charisma and intensity of these actors tries visibly hard to render Extraction the raw urgency its mildly ambitious setting incessantly craves.

Despite its rather frustrating storytelling issues, Hargrave’s “Extraction” remains a compelling action thriller that continues to hold your attention throughout by its sheer kinetic power.

Great movie. To many social justice pronoun users putting this down. White savior comments totally dismissing Randeep Hooda. Dude was kicking ass along with Hemsworth. Golshifteh Farahani leads the team and puts in work and is a total badass. Rudhraksh Jaiswal was very good as well, he performed better then alot of the mainstream actors today. Body count is high, and you have to take it like a good ol shoot em up movie. Fight seens are great and the car chase seens were great.

Extraction was the most appropriate film for 2020. Where people were locked in their homes, it delivered exciting and thrilling action. Add to that, Chris Hemsworth was perfectly cast as Tyler.

Its not your average action movie with a hero, its more realistic.. (still a hollywood movie) and also has nicely written characters.

Initial growing reluctance eventually grows to be entertained once the captivation solidifies the grip. This action thriller is a categorical guarantee on entertaining proportions with enough adrenaline to boost past the genre’s decent genericities through agreeably spectacular sequences and Hemsworth at his probable peaked form, persuasively imprinting anticipation for more after lingering with an impressive note to further deviate from the genre’s troublesome repetition. (B+)
