Extraction

Extraction is an action, thriller film directed by Tony Giglio and Stars Jonathan Patrick Foo, Falk Hentschel, Vinnie Jones, Joanne Kelly and Danny Glover.

A US black ops team is sent to Chechen to extract a terrorist, the operation wasn't looking smooth and didn't go smooth.

Every film has a plot, it's screenplay and it's outcome but in the case of this film the plot is there, execution of the screenplay is there but there is no outcome and there purpose of the film hasn't met and after seeing the undercooked and unfinished climax I am still not been able to understand why the film was even made.

Acting is just average and none of the character were impressive and were below average apart from Jonathan Patrick Foo was the only one who looked average.

Screenplay of the film was also average and despite of fast paced action scenes didn't excites much. Climax of the film was unfinished and it seems that the director finished the film in a hurry without having any purpose.

Please ignore.

I have seen action on screen in all its forms. Whether it was Bruce Willis fighting Germans in a building or Steven Seagal killing rouge Navy Mercenaries on a boat, I've seen it. However for the past few years, aside from legendary actioneers like Stallone or Schwarzenegger keeping the genre alive, action film have gone really downhill. It is a category of film making that has almost disappeared entirely because of guys like Peter Berg and Louis Leterrier, who instead of having quality actors doing real stunts in places other people wouldn't think possible, they place pretty boys like Jamie Foxx and Sam Worthington into lackluster scenarios and just let their doubles do the work while they capture the "action" with the most annoyingly shaky camera work in order to make the action more "realistic." Ironically enough however, in reality, its all BS. Now in comes Tony Giglio, writer and director of the amazingly underrated 2005 action thriller Chaos, with his new film Extraction, a old-school die hard action film that pulls no punches, literately. The fight sequences make guys like Jason Bourne look too liberal. It is hard to believe a film that was shot in 18 days and made on only a million dollars could come out this good and deliver action as rock solid as this. With almost no CGI and some of the greatest martial art scenes ever filmed, fans of the right kind of action movies will dig Extraction. With cool performances by Vinnie Jones and Jon Foo, this is Die Hard meets Delta Force meets the Raid: Redemption. In summation folks, why Tony Giglio isn't directing Expendables 3, I'll never know.

(24-Apr-2014) I think this was better than just a good time killer. The actors were pretty good, Jon Foo as the main character did an excellent job, both as an actor and as an "fighter". (some better than others... but overall OK) and the story as well. Good entertainment and many fighting scenes, not the most credible (but they never are, anyway) but absolutely OK. Tension between the guys who's monitoring the operation and what is taking place... It deserves much better than the 5. something it has now. Pretty good story overall. (But there are just a few votes for now... ) I recommend this for everyone who enjoys good fairly intelligent action. It won't go to history but absolutely a 6 or 7 here. Vinny Jones character was perhaps the least credible... A Prison warden who is sniffing cocaine... But I don't think this did so much damage to the this story it self. See it if you like for instance the action- movies with Jason Statham, this is not exactly like them, but the level of quality is the same, I think.

This is one of those movies that you either have to blink rapidly or pinch yourself 'til you bleed in order to escape pure suspension of belief, and not in a good way. One just can't believe the movie is so god-awful. I admit there was a tender part of me that rejoiced seeing a slimmer Sean Austin in a counter-terrorism role, as he appeared in one of the 24 seasons, and to hear Danny Glover's sinister yet comforting voice as he appeared in Shooter...but the eye-popping resemblance to a soap opera (gamey, wooden, one-dimensional) was in a word, unforgivable. Vinny Jones should of course stick to cockney gangster films, which he is quite adept at (who forget his performance in Snatch?). Sorry, Crackle. AVOID.

I looked at the other reviews for this movie and I seriously wondered if they watched the same movie I just saw. Then I noticed that there were very few reviews, and I realised that the majority of people who were unfortunate enough to waste time and money on this absolute rubbish, probably just wanted to erase the experience from their memories. That seasoned movie stars such as Danny Glover and Vinnie Jones could have any part in this I think shows that money is now more important to them than either their fans or their self respect. There is absolutely nothing even remotely good about this movie, so there is no point in listing all the things that are wrong with it. It is easier to just say that it was mind boggling bad, and I was enticed to watch it because of the cast, which I am sure was the producers plan. Shame on all Participants in this farce. Stay far away from this movie.
