Extracted

This is a at least a 6 or 7/10. Before viewing, I thought all the user reviews down here were the writer under various guises trying to bump the film up! I thought what low budget trash is this! Pathetic! But - No. They are real people who are baffled at the current low (5/10) rating. I cannot say I blame them - IMDb ratings lately seem as about as honest as a 9 dollar note.

The insertion of the main character trapped in the foggy memories of the heroin user's mind for 4 years, trying to escape means the film runs through twists and turns in the plot aka the junkies mind and relationships and past horrific memories (robbing his own dad at gunpoint for example) is a reasonable plot - OK - It would have been far better if the junkie was much more of a dark character instead of a pathetic one - but the plot still moves along, and it's low budget doesn't hamper it.

Sure - it's nowhere near a 8 or 9, which I would say 'Limitless' is (in the same sort of apples to apples comparison - the same genre), or even another 'Inception' but certainly a decent watch.

As with all films in this genre I assume it would be easy to look too much into it and uncover plot flaws or put it down because there isn't much action, but this film is more than your usual sci-fi bullets and blood film. The pace of the film is never dulled and it doesn't become boring because the characters and involvement you are likely to get drawn in very early on.

To summarise: - Great acting. - Best experienced in the right mood (this is no Inception). - Enough depth to be believable. - VERY well made on a fraction of the budget other terrible films are given.

As the other reviews have said I can hardly believe the low rating this film has been given.

Whats not to like about an unique storyline, excellent acting, and a plot that will keep you guessing to the very end? Extracted is a good movie, it's not your big typical Hollywood production, but none the less this is a fine example of quality film and story making. I don't expect to see much push behind this movie, so the likelihood you'll hear much about it is improbable. This is one of those movies that has actors you've never heard of or seen before, and no big trailer push on the big screen or TV for that matter. This is your typical low budget movie in the sense that it has no name recognition with writers, directors, producers, or actors, but where it differs from other low budget films is this one is actually quite good. Don't let the unknown detour you from seeing this one, it's original, captivating, and engrossing, and worthy of viewer support.

Funny, I reviewed a movie a few days ago called A Dark Truth. It was absolutely dreadful. It had big name stars, an obviously bigger budget, and it failed at almost every level. Here we have a taught, thinking man's little movie with good but lesser known actors, fewer locations and much more impressive results.

The writing in this movie was top notch. The director paced the movie well. Most of the time I didn't feel the actors acting, and was involved in the story. The basic concept was clever, particularly the chance meeting of the two main characters.

The ending was satisfying and sufficiently logical that it maintained the sci-fi believability. Tough to do. Some of the character actions and plot twists were a little too convenient, but the problems weren't too distracting.

Not only do I recommend that you watch it, but watch it when you can pay attention to it. It is worth the effort. I really don't understand the low IMDb rating on this film. It is much better than it's rating.

IMDb got it wrong the film is great great character portrayal very believable strong story and all in all very enjoyable to watch right from the start the idea is captivating which in some cases if you take such a good idea , bad IMDb score= a b or c grade film bad camera work crap script and you start thinking oh great this is one of those eagle entertainment flicks. but this film is the complete opposite.I'm glad i took the time to see it,i passed on it a few times but when i had a read of the comments i thought hey they cant be all wrong which makes me wonder how many other films that I've passed on that are actually good because of IMDb giving it a rubbish score lesson learned i think

you wont be disappointed
