Extraction (2020) - It's All Personal.

★★☆☆☆

If you feel like 'Extraction' is your cup of tea, you probably prefer brawn to brains when it comes to films. Nothing wrong about that in fact, at a crazy, stupid time like today, I guess we'd rather choose to go blank for a while caching a witless, exaggerated action piece than be reminded of our miseries by some serious, emotional melancholies. 'Extraction' is nothing of a let-down as an action film that is straight-forward, fast-paced but not messy, and strikingly well choreographed. It's an eyeball catching, showy fusion of past well done actions, easily entertaining and exciting for time killing on a Friday night. The only problem however, that I have with it is, I don't fall for guys like Chris Hemsworth!

The story reminds you of 'Taken', which is, well, not worth a talk, and not at all important to pure action entertainment like that as all you tend to focus is the moves. Speaking of which, you'd inevitably compare it to the ongoing phenomenal 'John Wick', which is definitely a game-changer in action film genre. There would've been, if not for it, more follow-ups to 'Marvel' than hard-nosed, down-to-earth, old-school action-packed stuff like 'Extraction'. But if I have to pick and recommend, 'John Wick' is easily the winner simply because it's got Keanu Reeves. I know. It's all personal. How could I not be when I no longer care about the story?
