What to Know

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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

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

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. Go to Full Review

David H. @rivrocks 3d The endless spawning of bad guys during the many shootouts was an unnecessary distraction from an otherwise good movie. And Golshifteh deserved more screen time. And it should have ended after Rake falls from the bridge. But otherwise it's a good movie. See more Jordan R. @boejordan223 3d loved it. the action, the story, and the great acting all the characters gave. had my attention throughout the whole movie. See more Bruno S @SquaredCloth602 May 22 Comparing this movie to John Wick is like asking which is better: Pepsi Black or Itubaína. Both work perfectly for me. Every scene is incredible. I wish all action movies were directed like this — it spoiled me in the best (or worst) way. I just wish they hadn’t turned it into a franchise, since I usually prefer self-contained stories. But here we go… on to the next movie. See more Ashish G @Ashishgunjal7 May 20 Every time I watch this movie, I do not getting bored because it has top class action scenes from the beginning of the movie. the performance of Chris Hems-worth is very intense and emotional. this movie shows the high quality cinematography, which gives the realistic action feel. See more Thyaagu C @Thyaagu Apr 8 A very simple one-liner, carried entirely by Chris Hemsworth and some seriously slick action. Whenever the film leans into chaos, it works, the action is intense, well choreographed, with sharp camera work. But the second it slows down, it loses steam. The dialogue feels thin, the emotional beats don’t land, and the film oddly feels empty in its quieter moments. Great action, just not a fully satisfying film. See more Darcy J @Darcidious Apr 6 generic story, but elite action filmmaking. i especially appreciated a 20 minute "one take" which displayed excellent choreography and vfx shot blends. worth a watch.
