Extraction, USA

The creators of "Extraction" are natural storytellers. Not only did this film capture the frustration and fear of those exposed to the environmental dangers of fracking, it also made a strong statement for feminism, all while holding the audience's attention with a compelling love story, familial bonds and action. The casting was great, from minor characters to the leads. There are a lot of characters to root for in this film. Strong performances all around. Both Leanne Johnson and Marlee Carpenter are compelling actresses to watch. Another great aspect of the film: albeit subtle, some of the camera angles are quite creative. Well done!

"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.

You can't help feeling empathy for Marni a single mom trying to raise her reclusive teenage son. It's not before Marni meets Steph, a bird of passage and fellow pool hustler, who instantly wins Marni over, that she can envision a way out of the dead-end oil town.

Writers Peter Matsoukas and Mike Yonts delicately weave the subplot of the queer relationship subplot, which rapidly develops between Marni and Steph into their multifarious script rather than turn the spotlight onto it. It's written to feel conventional to the point that Marni's son never questions their budding love. Instead, we watch their romance, new terrain for Marni, evolve by paralleling their ambitions to find a way out Extraction

Yonts' gritty and vigorous soundtrack flows throughout most of the film much like the crude under the town's grounds. It transpits the synergy created on screen by our duo in the throes of love. A great watch!

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!

Extraction, USA is a great debut indie film. The acting, the chemistry between the actors, or the photography, for example, are way better than what people would expect from a debut film. You can perceive the attention to detail from the beginning (a cool opening with a bullet crossing the title) to the end. And no, I am not going to spoil the end ;).

I liked the music choices, the action, the diversity, and the funny moments that were sprinkled here and there.

This movie allows you to enter in Marni's and Steph's lives and forget about your problems for one hour and a half. Since it is not boring at all, you focus and you enjoy it.
