When an imprisoned drug lord's son is kidnapped by a rival drug lord he tasks a close friend with the job of retrieving his son from his rival. Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) is a black market mercenary hired to bring the drug lord's son home in what proves to be one of his toughest assignments to date...

It's probably fair to say that if you choose to sit down and watch Extraction that you're unlikely to be blown away by its story; however if you are a fan of action films with plenty of shoot em up sequences then you should find this film to be relatively enjoyable.

Arguably the biggest flaw with this film lies with the story itself; 2 drug lords are at war with each other but we're never really given any explanation as to what their beef is with each other? Still as I've said this doesn't really matter in the moment as there is always something happening in this film (shoot outs and fisticuffs come thick and fast in this picture) which, in fairness, is what you'd come to expect with films of this nature.

Hemsworth does a solid job (he's a good physical presence, but unlike some of his counterparts that we see in action films he also does well from an 'acting' perspective as well). The villains are a little clichéd, but nobody disgraces themselves here.

Although it feels a little generic and underwritten the fast pace and neat actions sequences make it worthwhile.
