“Extraction” is based on a graphic novel that was written,
and is now adapted by, "Avengers: Endgame" co-director Joe
Russo as a starring vehicle for Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth.
Shorn
of his blonde locks, his mighty hammer, and his sense of humor, Hemsworth plays
a superhero mercenary for hire named Tyler Rake.
With a name like that, you can
bet your last money that at some point during the film’s 116-minute runtime,
Tyler will take a baddie out with the garden instrument that bears his name.
It’s a gnarly kill, right through the eyes of one of the hundreds of expendable
extras.
Such grotesquerie signifies just how hard the R-rating will be on this
Netflix release; heads are treated poorly, broken bones protrude and bodies are
flung from buildings and riddled with bullets. Not that I’m complaining, mind
you, considering how welcome it is that stunt coordinator-turned-director Sam
Hargrove frames the carnage in well-edited, easy-to-follow chunks. I’m just
letting you know what you’re in for here.
