Our take on Extraction

Directed by former stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave, this 2020 action thriller sends a hardened gun-for-hire into Bangladesh to rescue the kidnapped son of a drug lord. What begins as a straightforward job becomes a punishing, soul-searching fight for survival, staged with the visceral, close-quarters intensity you'd expect from a filmmaker steeped in stunt work. The appeal here is craft and momentum: brutal set pieces, relentless pacing and a grim, weary hero rather than plot intricacy. It suits viewers who want muscular, hard-edged action and don't mind heavy violence. Those after nuanced character study or lighter tone should temper expectations. As physical, propulsive genre filmmaking, it delivers exactly what it promises.
