Oooohhhh, Thor talks in his native accent, will watch for sure.
This looks pretty decent. Netflix originals are pretty hit or miss, but Hemsworth needs something successful after a string of misses after the MCU.

I hope it does well, the action genre has been hurting for years. We need some good old school action movies about tough dudes.

I'm afraid that action films have gone the way of westerns with SJW Hollywood, but I'd like to see the genre make a come back. |

I do too, but comic book movies and sci fi are pretty much revived the genre. It started seeing a decline in the late 90s. Action movie guys were relegated to direct-to-video movies. Even Stallone, who's one of the biggest names in that niche. Look at his career in the late 90s and 00s. Comic book movies brought the genre back from the dead, but for some reason, audiences still don't seem to care about action movies that aren't about superheroes or Transformers. The one franchise that succeeded, unfortunately, is Fast & Furious, which turned into sci fi/parody at a certain point.

Watching EXTRACTION gave me the same feeling of indifference I had when I read CIUDAD (the graphic novel it's based on), because it's just a run-of-the-mill action thriller with very few noteworthy moments (mainly a 12-minute "oner"). In the source material, a mercenary whose name isn't revealed until the end had to save a Portuguese girl named Eva Roche. At first, nothing in her personality nor how she was drawn indicate whether she's the same age as the mercenary or not. Eventually, the 2 characters start bonding, but again, it's not detailed enough to tell if they have a romantic connection or a father-daughter connection. Later, the mercenary's colleague tells him "I know how you feel. You see this younger girl in trouble and you want to save her. I'm a father too." Things were finally clear... but during the climax, they kiss! Yep, it's messed up. Not because of the age difference, but because you're not supposed to feel an attraction to someone you see as a kind-of relative. In this adaptation, the mercenary's name is revealed to be Tyler Rake very early on (that's actually the title in some countries) and the gender was reversed (I guess to avoid all this nonsense?). Now it's an Indian boy named Ovi Mahajan. Wait, why change the nationality too?! How is that relevant?! Rake and Ovi have 1 or 2 "moments," but it never feels like they're bonding on a deep level. As bad as the Eva debacle is in retrospective, at least I was invested before I got to the end. That colleague I mentioned before? In both media, he double-crosses Rake. In the movie, he lives alone. Ovi kills him in self-defense and his reaction to taking a life for the first time is intense. However, in the graphic novel, he's a family man. Rake is the one who kills him and Eva cries because she knows how this will affect his wife and kids. Rake and Eva briefly debate on whether it was the right thing to do. This take on the situation was more complex. 4/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog. |

LOL, I enjoyed this, but it was clearly just a vehicle for Hemsworth to show off a dirty, tattooed body and still look good. That's okay, I personally didn't need more than that  |

It was okay, but how lame was it that right afterwards the Russo brothers came out and said... that there is a solid chance a sequel will happen? Who's idea was that? |
