Extraction review : Sam Hargrave’s kidnap thriller starring Chris Hemsworth

The film Extraction is produced by Joe and Anthony Russo, the duo behind Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. Seems solid.

Language - English, Hindi and Bengali

Sam Hargrave's latest Netflix movie, Extraction, starring Chris Hemsworth, Randeep Hooda, Pankaj Tripathi in the lead roles is perhaps the action-packed film you're looking forward to this weekend. For those of you who have watched it already, you're probably still a little taken aback by how fluently Hemsworth speaks Bengali.

But Hemsworth’s performance isn’t what will leave viewers breathless or have them reaching for the rewind button. It’s a 12-minute action sequence in the middle of the film as Rake and the boy, Ovi (Rudhraksh Jaiswal), try to escape the locked down city of Dhaka. Shot as one long continuous take, a technique seen in movies like “Atomic Blonde” and “1917,” the scene resembles a first-person shooter video game, following the pair on the front end of a chase through the streets of the crowded city, on car and by foot, through buildings and across rooftops, stopping every few minutes to avoid an explosion, gunfire, or a crash, or to engage in a highly intense knife fight.
