Extraction (2020)
5/10
Mindless Action that's actuallly pretty entertaining
7 May 2020
Netflix deserves praise for inserting some action in the form of a Chris Hemsworth-led action movie into our actionless quarantined existence. The movie zips along from one bloody shootout to another, maintaining a necessary level momentum to keep audiences intrigued.

Hemsworth is fine and the movie is fine. Two highlights stand out. For one, Hemsworth's character is named Tyler Rake, and he kills two people with a rake. It's a nice wink by the filmmakers. Another highlight is the extended tracking shot during the movie's strongest and most violent sequence. I'm not sure if it's the best tracking shot ever in an action movie, but it very well may be the longest.

If you enjoy action movies, you'll probably enjoy this one. It's perfectly adequate.
