Extraction

Extraction was an entertaining action film that was just fun. It has a serious plot but the film never takes it self too seriously. All the actors do a great job. Sean Astin, Danny Glover and Vinnie Jones all do their thing. But it was the unknown stars of the film that really stole the show. I didn't know who Jon Foo or Falk Hentschel was before this. But I do now. Foo is a beast. And Falk has the looks and acting chops to be a breakout star. I just saw he's also in the new Nolan- produced Johnny Depp film TRANSCENDENCE.

The tone of the film starts out serious, but ever so naturally, the film lightens its mood and becomes wonderfully comedic. It, however, never strays from the action nor does it forget it's plot. Some nice story twists and turns keep you guessing.

I gave it 9 out of 10. Very fun solid piece. The first film I ever watched on Crackle. I'll watch more from now on. I'll also be on the lookout for more Foo and Hentschel.

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.

Quite an effective knockout film with the whirling fighting flea Jon FOO.

He plays a black ops agent who is tasked with freeing a mysterious prisoner (Falk HENTSCHEL) in a Chechen super-prison. The plot itself isn't particularly spectacular. The main thing is to let the talented cascader Jon FOO survive various fights. And that's where the film really delivers. Especially Jon FOO's fights with a superior number of bodybuilders or a huge Paul DUKE are really awesome and worth seeing.

The Leipzig actor Falk HENTSCHEL (*1982) cuts a surprisingly good figure as FOO's sidekick. Despite appearances by Sean ASTIN and Danny GLOVER, the film was not a great success, so there were no sequels. But the film is definitely worth seeing for action fans!

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.

(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.
