Extraction (2013)

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

best movie i've ever seen.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Blistering performances.

I was not expecting any Oscar performance from this movie, but there was nothing good about this movie, other than the appearance of Danny Glover. I watched the movie thinking there was going to be some decent action, and fighting scenes, but I was disappointed. The fighting scenes looked like the B-version of a WWE fight. It was easy to see that the fighters were slowing down for each other during attacks, waiting for the opponent to counter-attack. Most of the times, the strikes not making contact with their target were clearly visible. At least try to fool your audience a little bit, I am not sure how much it costs to cut, and edit fighting scenes, but do it for one fight.

I feel this film is well worth the time to watch, while it might lack some of the finesse of the big budget films, it has a good story line with good acting & good stunts apparently done without stunt doubles?The lead actors all did well. The fights were pretty good. The high profile fights were well done and realistic. The film was perhaps weakest in the quality of the lower actors and the extras, who basically lacked polish. All that said, I believe this to be a worthwhile film to watch, not really child friendly, due to some of the level of details in the fights, drug reference and language.

I've tried to watch movies and shows on Crackle, but have always had technical problems. My friend recommended I watch this. I was pleasantly surprised. I watched it on my desktop computer and didn't have any issues.I loved the story. I think the writer did a great job. The movie moved at a great clip and even with commercials the pacing never slowed down. I was pleasantly surprised and shocked at where some of the twists went. Never saw Sean Astin or Joanne Kelly's characters going there. There were so many great lines. And just naming your main hero "Mercy" was brilliant.The action was fun and wild. Great fight scenes shot in a way you could see what was happening. None of that stupid BOURNE SUPREMACY mad camera. Kudos to Director for that. So many times you try and watch action movies and you haven't a clue what's going on or who is hitting who.If you like action films, you'll like this. And it's free.

Extraction was an entertaining action film that was just fun. It has a serious plot but the film never takes it self too seriously. All the actors do a great job. Sean Astin, Danny Glover and Vinnie Jones all do their thing. But it was the unknown stars of the film that really stole the show. I didn't know who Jon Foo or Falk Hentschel was before this. But I do now. Foo is a beast. And Falk has the looks and acting chops to be a breakout star. I just saw he's also in the new Nolan- produced Johnny Depp film TRANSCENDENCE.The tone of the film starts out serious, but ever so naturally, the film lightens its mood and becomes wonderfully comedic. It, however, never strays from the action nor does it forget it's plot. Some nice story twists and turns keep you guessing.I gave it 9 out of 10. Very fun solid piece. The first film I ever watched on Crackle. I'll watch more from now on. I'll also be on the lookout for more Foo and Hentschel.
