Critics Consensus

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

Alessandro Ramon T

A good action film with a simple and linear plot. The film features John Wick style action scenes that manage to work well.

Heavy on the gunfighting and light and pretty much everything else, this movie is great if you are looking to just turn your brain off for a couple of hours and watch some incredible action sequences.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Aimless violence is true. Interesting visuals though for sure. I'm definitely confused how this gets better tomato score then the Russo brothers' movie Cherry.

I watched it mainly for the location setting, but it had quite a poignant story, too. Some gory violence with blades that I had to look away from, but worth it over all.

Utter nonsense 🤣 ok, so we cut action films a bit of slack but this is just ludicrous. A thin story line and unbelievable body count. Give it a miss.

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

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.

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

In the end, Extraction is going to be remembered for its insane action and a fantastic lead performance by Chris Hemsworth.

Ultimately unable to escape its genre roots... it is difficult not to enjoy a film where a man called Rake kills two men with a rake!

Rated: 3/5

Keith & the Movies

It doesn’t want to be character study or a think piece. It’s not interested in commentary or metaphors. Instead “Extraction” is a throwback to the better action movies of the late 80’s to mid-90s. It’s straightforward, unapologetic, and an absolute blast.

Rated: 4/5
