**Is it the best action movie made by Netflix? Could it be true?** "Extraction" movie is an action movie based on a comic called Ciudad, which is a Spanish word means city. The story of the movie is about a mercenary who is recruited to rescue a boy who was kidnapped by a very dangerous gang. I saw the advertisement for this movie and said it might be vulgar. You have seen many great action scenes with many explosions, guns and pursuits. Yes, it is a strong movie in terms of performance. The world surrounding the movie is a poor, cruel, and frightening world that was shown. You see most of the scenes of the film were filmed in the slums of Bangladesh, and some in certain areas in India. It was depicted as a gloomy world with a lot of crime and corruption. The director manages to bring out this world shockingly. Director Sam Hargrave has a background in action and law, and I have seen similar films directed in this way. The director understands action scenes and knows how to build a powerful moment and hold the viewer's breath in it. There are some scenes that contributed to the decrease in the evaluation of people. I wanted to explain or explain more about some situations, so that the people's actions would be more logical to the viewer. There were many scenes that were not deep, and some scenes that contained poor and superficial effects and devoid of depth of meanings, such as the movement of smoke. Chris Hemsworth is an action star, an actual action hero, a powerful action hero, and he carried the film on his shoulders, but he did as the director told him. The director didn't want to expand the deep action scenes. I do not deny that if the shots or the frame were wider and deeper than this, if the cameras used in filming the scenes were farther away, or their movement or vibration while filming the scenes were less than this, these scenes would have become clearer and more impressive.

I only watched this for David Harbour and he was great.

There's no two ways about it; Extraction is too long. On the plus side, it's violent yet painless. It gives us a fly-on-the-wall view of the action; at the same time, the over-the-shoulder third-person perspective assures us that what we have here is little more than videogame violence (except on two occasions, and even then we might give the film the benefit of the doubt, if we're feeling generous). Extraction has a sound premise and lots of action pieces to go with it; highlights include an ingeniously shot high speed chase that keeps us on the edge of the (back)seat, and a brutal, close quarters, hand-to-hand combat between Chris Hemsworth and Randeep Hooda. There is another, much less impressive fight, however. The villain employs children and teenagers as street soldiers, and there is a scene where they corner Hemsworth in an alley, and our hero, in a very un-heroic moment, proceeds to beat the crap out of them. Technically, this sequence is not gratuitous; it's actually there for a reason. The problem is that the ending somehow seems to simultaneously justify and negate that reason. The other time Extraction goes too far is when the Child in the 'Badass and Child Duo' is forced to shoot David Harbour's character dead. The rationale is that he does it to save Hemsworth's life, but this doesn't stand up under scrutiny. At a certain point Hemsworth and the kid are picked up by Harbour, an old friend and former comrade-in-arms of the former, who hides them in his house. From the moment this character is introduced we know, because we've seen it in countless other action movies, that sooner rather than later he's going to betray the hero, so we're just waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's bad enough to have a teenager pull the trigger, but doing it in the name of such a tired cliché is inexcusable. Moreover, Harbor's character and everything that has to do him should have been dropped altogether, because his introduction at the halfway point results in a slump from which Extraction only recovers half an hour later when a rocket sends a helicopter into a tailspin (at least it got my attention back). This film is the directorial debut for Sam Hargrave, who would do well to study David Mamet's Spartan or Steven Soderbergh's Haywire for two textbook examples of economical action movies. We don't really care much about the hero's past; what we want is to see him rescue the boy and get him to safety in the most entertaining and expeditious way possible – straight to the point, without beating around the bush. Now, if the filmmakers feel it necessary for him to bond emotionally with the boy, then let him do it on the go, over the course of their adventure. There is within Extraction a serviceable action movie that its creators have almost ruined by trying to stretch it beyond the limitations of its genre.

Although the action is probably too abundant and the plot leaves much to be desired, one cannot help but admire the 11 minute pursuit scene, that looks as if it's been shot in a single take. 7/10

Really good watch, probably won't watch again, but can recommend. Chris Hemsworth gives a stellar carry of this movie. Not for lack of trying on the writers' part, the bulk of quality in this is movie is Hemsworth shooting his way through India. The reasoning of which really isn't all that important, in fact, it is a designed adversity that he is trying to save a kid's life. Without even watching the movie, I could have told you it wasn't worth killing so many people to rescue one kid. The action is excellent and worth watching the rest of the movie: hell, you could even fast forward through the parts where they're not fighting. It reminded me a lot of Daredevil series, but focused on guns. If you want to see some good action, give this a go, but I can't guarantee the actual story is anything you'll really get into.

The Dhaka in the film is surely from another multiverse. This may in future be tied up with Doctor Strange Multiverse Of Madness or something😑. And btw if Russo Bros call it cinema again, Mustafa Scorsese swears by Allah that he will shoot himself.
