What to Know

Critics Consensus

Spectacular stunt work and an electric performance from Chris Hemsworth can't save Extraction from being dragged down by its aimless violence.

The action is what saves Extraction from being totally written off considering its story and characters are so generic - the screenplay from Joe Russo (Avengers: Endgame) does it no favours. Go to Full Review

Head shot, body shot, Hemsworth sad, brown people bad, head shot, body shot. That's the rhythm of Extraction, and yes, it's also a white-savior narrative. Go to Full Review

The body count is off the scale, yet you may well find the cartoonish violence oddly lulling. I did. Go to Full Review

The charisma and intensity of these actors tries visibly hard to render Extraction the raw urgency its mildly ambitious setting incessantly craves. Go to Full Review

Paul S @PManRager 1d It might not be the most original type of movie, but this was still an incredibly action-packed and suspenseful thrill ride. The story was intense, and there were so many scenes that left me on the edge of my seat. I definitely recommend it for action, thriller, combat, and suspense fans! See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 14 The story of the tough mercenary is a walking cliché, but the execution of the action scenes is absolutely spectacular. With visceral combat choreography and brilliant camerawork, the film delivers exactly the adrenaline it promises. Chris Hemsworth is in his element and guarantees very competent, unpretentious entertainment, even if the script is shallow. See more david S @RT95318838 Jul 13 Enjoyable movie, yes its packed with countless shooting and a simple plot but its easy to watch, if you want intense dramas then its not for you, there are times you just want to sit back and watch an action movie this fits the bill See more MAZINA P @RT51827547 Jun 9 This movie has a great story and does capture people’s attention because it’s one of a kind. The way the mission is scripted and how it is executed, good characters in the movie make it likable. I can watch it once more. See more Christopher F. @RT12254026 May 31 Not a bad movie. I will say that even though Extraction has a middle of the road action plot, the camera work is amazing. The action sequences are pretty awesome as well and I would recommend Extraction to action fans. See more David H. @rivrocks May 27 The endless spawning of bad guys during the many shootouts was an unnecessary distraction from an otherwise good movie. And Golshifteh deserved more screen time. And it should have ended after Rake falls from the bridge. But otherwise it's a good movie. See more Read all reviews
