i must have seen a different film!!
best movie i've ever seen.
Admirable film.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Bruce Willis got top billing in this film and is all over the film poster, but in classic low budget movie bait-and-switch, Willis filmed all his scenes in one day and is hardly in the film. The story involves Willis as a CIA operative who's kidnapped within the first few minutes of the film and it's then up to his son, Kellan Lutz, and real-life MMA champion Gina Carano to rescue him. When ends up happening is a series of fight scenes that are actually pretty good (not quite John Wick great, but certainly better than average), although I was disappointed that Carano did not have all that many standout fight scenes. She was amazing in Steven Soderberg's "Haywire" and I'm still waiting to see her in an equally worthy of film since then. Overall, this low budget action film does feature some decent fight sequences that make it worth watching, but the film's overall low production value and rather thin story do make it pretty obvious to audiences that this is not a something of "Die Hard" or "Haywire" of quality. And D.B. Sweeney looks as if he too may have filmed all of his scenes in one day as well.
No spoilers. Simple plot with twists. The acting in an action film are limited to the action presented. Of course this isn't a realistic CIA film. First, there are no CIA "agents", there are operatives and officers, but agents are an FBI title. Second, the plot is fairly simple, but actually well done. Third, the production values are rather high for a straight to video film. The fight sequences are pretty well done, Gina Carano is a fine film fighter and so are Kellan Lutz and Bruce Willis, age notwithstanding. There are enough plot twists to keep this interesting, within its genre. No, this isn't the high speed, top of the line Tom Cruise actioner, yet it has its moments. So, no whining about the less than stellar costs associated with it. Given a larger budget and better writing it could have been a far better film. The writing is what makes the film suffer. All in all it was entertaining and for those of us who've been waiting for a new Bourne Identity, this isn't it, but it might have been. So, take it for what it is and enjoy the action and shut up. Predator was not much better an actioner and certainly some of Arnie's 1980s action flicks were no better. Kellan Lutz and Gina Carano have careers as action stars and given better scripts and some experience under their belts have the ability to make some fine films in the future. If there is a real disappointment here, it's Bruce Willis who could have phoned in his performance, perhaps his payday wasn't as large as he's used to?
EXTRACTION is an acceptable B-movie thriller with a lead role for THE EXPENDABLES 3 actor Kellan Lutz and a guest part for Bruce Willis. They play father-and-son agents who are left grieving when Willis' wife is murdered by gangsters. Ten years later, a valuable hacking device is stolen and Willis kidnapped, forcing his son to go into action to rescue him. This is a simple and low budget tale that's well directed by Steven C. Miller, the man behind THE AGGRESSION SCALE. Willis doesn't get much screen time and seems a bit bored by it all but Lutz makes an effort and seems to have grown as an actor since the last time I saw him. The story is nothing special and features a few twists along the way. Gina Carano shows up as Lutz's ex and turns out to be a major ally, but her acting abilities are really limited here and I felt embarrassed by her attempts at humour. Still, the film does get by on a series of crunchy, well-choreographed fight scenes which feel inspired by BOURNE. The best is the bathroom fight against the assassin which is really neatly done.
A former CIA operative is kidnapped by a group of terrorists. When his son learns there is no plan for his father to be saved, he launches his own rescue operation. It's been years since i watched a great Bruce Willis film and after watching this movie it's gonna take a bit more because Extraction was pretty bad Bruce Willis, Kellan Lutz and Gina Carano were all pretty mediocre at best there were some nice action sequences of course but only a few and what could anyone expect from a straight to DVD action movie? Sure there's some few good ones but only a few and Bruce Willis has become Nicolas Cage at this point he is talented but damn he has lost it.
