Extraction - Review

Extraction

Plot summary:

CIA agent Leonard Turner’s cover gets blown, and his family, compromised, which leads to the assassination of his wife. Ten years later, he is kidnapped by a group of criminals during a mission to secure and escort The Condor prototype, which is the ultimate hacking device, enabling the possessor to have complete control of any governments communications systems. Learning of his father’s abduction, Turner’s son, Harry, who’s also a CIA agent, sets out on an unsanctioned mission of his own to locate and rescue his father. His path crosses with a former colleague, Agent Victoria Fair, who’s assigned to this mission, and together, they investigate into the matter, leading to a surprising turn of events and a shocking revelation. 

Review:

To be honest, this movie doesn’t have a very intricate plot, but it does not make this movie any less interesting. The story is obvious from the start, though there are a couple of secrets to be unveiled at the end of the movie. Plus the event-flow was good. I don’t see any plotholes or any other discrepancies to point out. The cinematography was employed well, notably in filming the action scenes in cramped spaces. And the assassin sent by the CIA – nice footwork. The fight scenes were fun to watch – they had good choreography – though I feel like Gina Carano’s(Victoria Fair’s) initial struggle at the night club should’ve gone better considering the fact that she is a CIA agent who can defend herself. Nevertheless, Carano does some good ass-kicking. Plus the lighting was good, varying with the settings and the scenes accordingly to give the needed effect and mood. Plus the music was pretty cool. It helped notably in the couple of chase scenes that were shown, giving some excitement. No complaints about the acting, either. They all did a pretty good job portraying their respective roles.It’s a pretty cool movie to watch.
