“In a world that is currently minus new films, to get a fresh one delivered to us via Netflix was a much needed treat. And Iu0026#39;m glad to report that u0026#39;Extractionu0026#39; was worth the wait. It isnu0026#39;t a flawless movie, but it certainly has some good things going for it. The action sequences were probably the highlight of the film for me. Iu0026#39;m not usually someone who appreciates or even notices good action sequences, but I did with this film which says something. There is one sequence that really blew me away. It is a one-shot sequence that goes on for quite some time and has some amazing ingenuity behind it. Definitely the highlight of the film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eChris Hemsworth was right at home in this role. He doesnu0026#39;t have to do a lot of speaking, and can just let his actions speak for themselves. Some of the stunt work in this film would not have been easy. When he is required to slow things down and have some dialogue in the odd scene he does so adequately.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film surprised me with just how violent it was willing to be at times, especially in scenes involving children. There were a couple of time where I thought – theyu0026#39;re not going to do that are they? – and then sure enough they did. This is a very serious film as well. Very little (if any that I can think of) humour whatsoever makes an appearance.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film does get a little tedious towards the end. You can only watch so many people getting shot without becoming numb and a little bored by it. Also the film opens with a shot from near the end of the film. It doesnu0026#39;t work though because there is no intrigue behind it. This was one of the few poor choices an otherwise very good film made however. I would recommend giving this one a watch.”
