AMONG THE HIDDEN MOVIE NETFLIX FULL
Hargrave’s talents as a stunt coordinator are on full display in the intensely thrilling combat, especially as a shaky camera follows Tyler from apartment rooftops to car chases without a single cut. The action sequences are engaging and grounded, with the impact of every bullet and punch felt through the palpable sound design and Hemsworth’s gritty acting. Fight sequences follow the pair as they are chased by cars through the open streets, then relentlessly pursued through cramped apartment rooms and walkways.
The first half of “Extraction” primarily follows Tyler defeating a horde of unnamed enemies as he ferries Ovi through the city of Dhaka toward India. Tyler is able to secure Ovi early on in the movie, but the central conflict of the rest of the film is focused on the long journey out of Bangladesh after his extraction plan fails. Without delay, the action begins, as Tyler goes to work dismantling heavily armed enemies with adrenaline-inducing, mind-numbing combat. Hemsworth, portraying Tyler Rake, is hired to rescue and extract him back to India – a mission that imminently goes awry. The film begins with Ovi Mahajan (Jaiswal), a 14-year-old scion of an Indian drug lord, being kidnapped by the criminal agents of a Bangladeshi crime boss. Thankfully, the stars’ roles make more use of their range of acting than action movies normally do. The film pairs Chris Hemsworth – in his bread and butter action role as a macho gunman mercenary – with Rudhraksh Jaiswal, who portrays a young and innocent foil to Hemsworth’s hardened character. “Extraction ,” releasing Friday on Netflix, is the premiere directorial effort of “Avengers: Endgame” stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave, whose incredible action sequences demonstrate his mastery of stunt work. To be fair, the movie does have its share of the latter, but hidden among the gore and the gunshots are characters with surprising emotional depth and development.
When “Extraction” opens, it seems to prime viewers for an archetypal action movie – shallow characters paired with gratuitous violence.
