“Extraction” is a sure-fire winner, showcasing a powerful story of redemption, and introducing intriguing characters, some of whom may surprise viewers.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 3, 2024

The charisma and intensity of these actors tries visibly hard to render Extraction the raw urgency its mildly ambitious setting incessantly craves.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 27, 2024

Despite its rather frustrating storytelling issues, Hargrave’s “Extraction” remains a compelling action thriller that continues to hold your attention throughout by its sheer kinetic power.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 9, 2024

Even as Extraction never falls for anything truly reprehensible, it muddles the big picture by allowing itself to be a pawn in politics that define an entire country for the worse.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 8, 2024

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

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 24, 2023

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!

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 11, 2022

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 20, 2022

With its fidgety two-hour runtime and the nonstop procession of gunfire and explosions, Extraction grows tedious, largely as a fault of the screenplay.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 20, 2022

Extraction never quite reaches the level of a great film. But, it is a film that channels the action films of yesteryear to provide much-needed quarantine entertainment for all cinephiles.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 18, 2022

The action is mostly clean and precise, a clear indication of Hargrave's foundation and the respect he has for what these stunt people do.

Dumb, derivative and far too serious, Chris Hemsworth's latest is still a whole heap of fun...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 23, 2021

Extraction is one of those mostly brainless action movies that is best enjoyed for the intensity of its fight and chase scenes. If you can focus on those and not the story, you're in for a fun time.

| Feb 17, 2021

It's nothing we hadn't seen before, but when it comes to its action and its stunt work, it's something we haven't seen done this well for quite some time.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 1, 2021

Hits like a ton of bricks...dumb as a sack of rocks.

| Original Score: C | Jan 29, 2021

'Extraction' is indeed full of shootouts, fight sequences and chase scenes. The body count is relentless. But amid all of the action, the relationship between fathers and sons is at the heart of the film.

| Jan 27, 2021

"Extraction" is a bone-rattling, epic fifteen rounds of urban warfare rescue mission with a soulful and redemptive career-best dramatic performance from Hemsworth.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 19, 2020

Despite Extraction's issues with a very minimal story, it's a lot of fun. The action is a non-stop, hyperventilating barrage of greatness.

| Nov 18, 2020

One does have to watch a lot of the stuntwork through a kind of veil of ineffective camera set-ups and poor visual storytelling.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 19, 2020

Extraction won't revolutionize the action genre, but it shows that leaving the ones who get the punches in charge of the action is a good idea. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 16, 2020

It's a brutal, pretty joyless action movie that aims to awe with visceral action. But once you get beyond all the bullets and mayhem, you quickly realise that the film doesn't have much else to offer.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 28, 2020
