Leave your thoughts about Extraction.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperIt’s a shame this real crowd-pleaser won’t be playing to crowds, but it still works as a Friday night, pop-the-popcorn, living room entertainment. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleNot surprisingly for a movie of this type, there are lots of scenes of violence, including hand-to-hand combat. The fight choreography is exceptional. In the “John Wick” movies, the violence seems almost like a ballet. Here the fighting is just as intricate, but it also seems like actual fighting, and Hemsworth seems like an actual person who’s doing it. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattExtraction mostly delivers what its swaggering trailer promises: international scenery; insidious villains; a taciturn, tree-trunk Aussie. And the comfort of knowing that the kids — or at least the one he came for — are probably alright. |
| The TelegraphRobbie CollinLike its absurdly named hero, Extraction gets a serious and deeply silly job done in style. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliWithout question, Extraction is the best action-oriented film released during the first third of 2020. One could argue that such a statement is damning with faint praise. |
| UproxxVince ManciniExtraction is constant, hyper-stylized murders and maimings, shot clearly and intelligently without too much unnecessary plot. It’s exactly what I’d been missing about action movies. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzThe film, wisely, is built around Hemsworth. He’s good at this kind of thing, and no matter how many throats he slits, you still root for him. |
| Film ThreatLorry KiktaIt’s like a video game, but with Chris Hemsworth doing all the killing and maiming. Again, the stunts and special effects are fantastic, and as far as action movies go, there are far worse options out there. |
| Vanity FairRichard LawsonAs a dancer to Hargrave’s violent tune, Hemsworth acquits himself beautifully—he gets a grim and maybe irresponsible assignment done quite well. |
| IGNMatt FowlerExtraction works because its simple, yet sufficient, story allows the film's action to take center stage. If the stunt work were mediocre, the entire thing would be an utter waste of time. Thankfully though, Extraction boasts an exhaustingly awesome showcase of expertly choreographed fists, knives, guns, and explosions. |
