Besides being one of the worst action films I have ever had the displeasure of viewing, can we please stop putting Dan Bilzerian's name in the opening credits for nothing roles? Instant devaluing of a film by bringing in a nobody who epitomizes lazy film-making and is a wannabe playboy who probably wasn't held by his mother enough growing up.

Good watch, probably won't watch again, but can recommend.

I love any chance I get to see Gina Carano in action, but Kellan Lutz carries the majority of the movie with Bruce Willis and Carano in more of a support capacity.

For an action movie, it's pretty good, the problem is that it is a spy movie. It's all about intel, it's focused on the CIA, but for some reason we keep presenting the CIA as a private army instead of a foreign based intelligence agency (like an overseas FBI, but without guns). Even "assets", like assassins, are technically outsourced and aren't supposed to be available in country.

The motivation of an "all hack" device isn't quite enough for me, and the action is mediocre compared to most action films, but very well done.

The most interesting parts of the movie are the "spoiler" bits, so there is something extra to what I see as a very bland main plot, but all in all it's a very average, if good, movie experience.

With Bruce Willis now synonymous with 'Straight to DVD' I'm really not sure why I gave this movie a shot. Started off promising then about 5 minutes in it hit rock bottom and just sank lower and lower. Parts of it smack of them trying to create a 'Bourne-esque' style atmosphere within CIA HQ (in respect of which they score about 3 out of a 100) the rest is just plain second rate B movie crap with characters poorly cast, spouting lousily scripted dialogue and a storyline that's just plain limp. It's beyond belief that Willis (playing the CIAs absolute BEST agent - Leonard Turner) gets kidnapped and the CIA call in the best (but surely she must be second best) agent they have, Victoria, a 'Friends' type half-soaked, trying waaaay to hard to be cool and funny, dizzy female who's about as menacing as Donald Duck (and not half so funny or clever) who THEN proceeds to play nothing more than second fiddle to another wannabe agent who's actually **even better** than her (so she's third best now right?) who just HAPPENS to be, yes you've guessed it, dear old Len's son and our Vic's ex. I mean, seriously?? One of the real dialogue lows was when Victoria (the miscast Friends 007) says "You know what this totes reminds me of". Are you kidding or what! Does anyone other than 13 year olds even talk like that anymore? If you happen to slog your way through this waiting for the plot (and inevitable twist) to unfold you'll realise you'd have got a better twist from untangling your shoelaces. If this even ever made it to the DVD bins I'm guessing it's still there.

I didn't find 'Extraction' to be that bad at all, it's not good either but it's definitely nothing terrible. I found it an OK, relatively well paced full on action film.

It is, I will say, one of those productions that big up a well known actor, in this case Bruce Willis, yet they actually don't even feature much. That's a negative for sure, like why would you have Willis and not make him the main attraction - most likely down to financial/scheduling issues, but still.

Kellan Lutz is very much the lead in this and I think he does a solid enough job, as does 'Fast & Furious' alum Gina Carano. Talking of alumni, 'The Walking Dead' duo Steve Coulter and Joshua Mikel appear.

I agree the story is nothing exciting or thrilling, but I honestly didn't have much of problem whilst watching it. It's hollow, but nothing awful - in my opinion, anyway.

If you're looking for a good action film with this title, check out the 2020 release with Chris Hemsworth - it's certainly much better.
