EXTRACTION MOVIE PLOT


The film follows a black-market mercenary on his journey to rescue  son of an Indian drug lord kidnapped in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with a target of a $10 million bounty.

Ovi, the adolescent son of an Indian drug lord (in prison), sneaks out of his house to hang out when he is kidnapped by polices working for another drug lord Amir Asif who is the rival to his father. Saju Rav, Ovi's protector, reports the incident to Ovi's father in prison. Not wanting to pay the ransom because it would damage his reputation, Ovi's father orders Saju to find a way to rescue the boy, otherwise Saju's family would be threatened.

Saju hires Nik Khan's team (played by Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani) to execute the rescue, in which Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) plays a leading role. Rake successfully rescues Ovi, and is taking the boy to the extraction, but Saju deliberately refuses to transfer money. Instead, Saju kills Rake's teammates and tries to kill Rake also to prove to his boss that he is the savior of Ovi.

During the extraction journey, Rake has to fight constantly: he confronts Saju to take back the package, fatally struggles with the local police forces controlled and masterminded by Asif, then be caught in the non-sensed fight with young thugs on the street ... Rake also has to deal with the situation of a treacherous teammate, who wants him to simply kill Ovi and split the $10 million bounty offered by Asif.


EXTRACTION 2020 REVIEW


Most critics praised Chris Hemsworth for his excellent performance in action sequences and emotional scenes. However, the movie is somewhat pulled down by excessive violence for low-profile goals.

Extraction is also considered to mimic the combat scenes of the John Wick series, however the non-stop layout of actions looks more like a real life version of an extremely violent video games such as Manhunt 2 or CrossFire.

In addition, some also criticized the film for depicting a Dhaka - the capital of Bangladesh too dark, shabby, out of date and ... inaccurate, but nonetheless it is Dhaka. Although the setting is Dhaka, most of the scenes were shot in India and Thailand.


EXTRACTION UNIVERSE OUTLOOK


In May 2020, it was reported that Joe Russo had been hired to write a sequel to the film, with the intention of Chris Hemsworth coming back. In late 2020, the Russo Brothers announced that in addition to a single sequel, they hope to develop a whole universe set in the Extraction to explore some of the characters that were featured in the first film and much more beyound that.
