Extraction (2020) Netflix Film

Thor's got a new film on Netflix, looks like your standard fare, the jaded and disenfranchised ex-soldier who's sent in to kick ass and somewhere along the way finds his humanity again. Produced by the Russo bros, so that's a plus. Director is a fight choreographer and stuntman with quite a few hits under his belt.

Should be available for streaming today; I'll be watching it in a couple hours:

Sounds do-able.

Saw a trailer for it a few days ago. Might watch sometime if bored. The wife would certainly give it a go, seeing as it has her movie star crush in it.

was gonna watch but netflix is fracking up so i will wait until tomorrow

Just watched this, The action bits in this were awesome. it was great to see someone under 50 do a legit old school action movie. I’m so used to old phucks doing these movies, I forgot how much better it is when someone young does it. Hemsworth brings a physicality to this movie that guys like Liam Neeson, and old man Stallone can’t pull off anymore.

watching now

watched last night...

thought it had good action scenes. it felt like the film man on fire but overalli liked it and give it 3 out of 5 stars

Not a bad film. Could have been far better.

Yeah, it was just okay.

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a good fight scene & it's always a plus when the director happens to specialise in fight choreography as well.

But IMO when every bad guy Hemsworth runs into has the same fighting technique as himself it does become predictable & generic.

Juz like the John Wick series, using the same stunt/fight team for every movie regardless of the different types of bad guys he encounters is becoming a parody of its own creation.

Agreed. This didn't pretend to be little more than what we see at face value, an action flick. The story was meh/predicable, but I found Helmsworth did a damn decent job.

Was it really everyone though? The Indian Spec-Ops did. But even the goons and nameless police? As Hemsworth pretty much shit-stomped most of them with little effort.

For me it felt that way.

I mean there really wasn't one fight scene that left a lasting impression over the rest.

I was hoping to watch it. I love imagining what's going on in the head of such characters. Probably a bad habit because of an old boyfriend in college who kept talking about Deductive Reasoning in Math through movies. I had to drown out his voice and this helped. Weird, but you do what you have to do, to cope. Fortunately my emotional maturity kicked in and I moved on! 🙂
