Watch Extraction to make lockdown special.Warning: May contain some spoilers.
A thrilling action film starring none other than Thor’s Chris Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, a former
SASR operator turned black-ops mercenary. The film starts with the protagonist, Rake, injured
and having a flashback of his dead young son. Rake has been dispatched to Dhaka, Bangladesh,
to retrieve Ovi (played by Rudhraksh Jaiwal) who has been kidnapped by an opposing gang his
criminal father had a dispute with. After a careless setup, the criminals are all in an alliance with the
cops, and the antagonist Amir Asif (Priyanshu Painyuli) is busy planning a way to kill Ovi and win this
battle.

The film serves up a harsh blast of blood, bullets and blown-up cars. Rake is painted as a
stereotypical good bad guy, tortured by personal tragedy and restored by his mission. He even kills
and damages some teenage followers in the process. Randeep Hooda plays his foil, a kingpin deputy
whose ruthlessly experienced violence is turned by its own, dull direction of protective feeling. David
Harbour (from Stranger Things) also appears shortly, adding to the film’s lineup of tortured machos.
The fight scenes are flexible and reflecting. Sam Hargrave (who directed the film) mistakes blood for
cool and technical bravery for choreography, disposing of long one-take shots that look like "Call of
Duty" outtakes and video game fights.

Although producing a global thriller with some established Hollywood actors, much of the dialogue
is in Hindi and Bengali. Bollywood actors - Randeep Hooda and Priyanshu Painyuli as a swaggering
masses chief - boost the ordinary Hollywood expectations by delivering their lines with a hint of
melodrama. They’re a tease for how fun this movie could have been if it weren’t so dark.

This film is for the people who love an action thrilling movie. There is no romance in sight but emotion
is being thrown around like a ball in cricket. Ovi’s lines “You drown not by falling into a river, but by
staying submerged in it” really engaged me more than I imagined. I had goosebumps. So many
unexpected things happen with the characters. Without wanting to give too much away, the last scene
is a tearjerker. Be prepared!

Rating: 9/10. If there was some comedy, it’d be a 10!
Extraction is rated 15 and available to view on Netflix.
