Extraction, USA

"Extraction USA." The actor direction, cinematography, and performances by the actresses (and actors) were outstanding.

My wife and I loved this movie !

I highly recommend watching this film. The plot is well-crafted, the intrigue and resolution are worthy of the best-known thrillers!

This film will become a landmark in American independent cinema, directed with imagination and efficiency, and it deserves a place in the top festivals around the world.

A film to watch over and over again because it is so entertaining. Don't forget to make some popcorn and let yourself be carried away by its effective plot.

It's a really good movie and an enjoyable watch! The two main actresses Leanne Johnson and Marlee Carpenter's character chemistry really sparks and makes you care about their plight.

The story captures the despair of being stuck in a doomed, dead end small town ... and suddenly seeing your dreams and a way OUT seductively dangled in front of you -- if you just dare to break a few rules (maybe a few TOO MANY rules.)

In that way it's as much an indie "character-driven" movie love story as it is an actiony and adventure story. The music is really used well too, adding a lot to the overall vibe and drama (too often, it's like someone just plugged in a couple of songs ... THESE add the whole feel! And it feels SCORED: music adding to the emotions and not just filler.)

Definitely a movie to watch and enjoy. The Actors and Director, Cinematography and Writers all show their talent and control as true artists!

Creating Extraction, USA from the ground up as an independent feature film was one of the toughest tasks any of us ever attempted. Like most indie film crews, we put in some long days and endured all sorts of uncertainty about locations, vehicles, and funding. We kept working because we believed in this story of two women who join together against desperate odds to take control of their lives. On one level the film is about crime and action, but if you look a little deeper, it says some interesting things about income inequality, the environment, and men and women in the workplace. The film is full of terrific performances by a big variety of talented actors.

Watch it if you like action/heist movies, gambling movies, or movies with strong women.

We stumbled upon Extraction, USA and were not disappointed. It's a gritty, low-budget gem with scrappy charm that's hard to resist. Set in the fictional, frack-rattled town of Extraction, the film follows a single mom (Leanne Johnson) and a drifter named Steph (Marlee Carpenter) as they strike up a volatile friendship-and an impulsive criminal partnership. What begins with pool hustling and daydreams of a better life quickly spirals into real stakes.

The chemistry between the two leads anchors the film, while the cinematography elevates it beyond its modest means. Rough around the edges in all the right ways, it's impossible not to root for these underdogs as they stumble through their plans with dark humor, tension, and unexpected twists. An indie film well worth the watch.

So this story is about a single mom in a town that is blue collar but dominated in that industry and everyone else has to fight for the scraps of the economy, making it a class division and building animosity amongst the community members. Through circumstances and scraping by, like pool hustling and whatever she can do to gain a financial edge, Marni, the protagonist, lean further and further into increasing risky criminal acts that can gain financial freedom. She meets a free spirit independent woman who increases these tendencies in her personal life that leads to even higher riskier capers. Fun film with a surprising ending.
