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.

IMDb's recommendation seems to be working well since this is where I found this film. As an avid sci-fi fan, a regular indie film watcher, I can most certainly say this is indeed an excellent film.

When I read the plot, the first that came on my mind was Chris Nolan's Inception, and I love movies with themes of the human mind. Of course this film is different from Inception in so many ways, but Extracted is not a let down. What can also amaze you is, you can tell this film had a low budget, but it was done very well, and looks very professional.

The film starts slow but progresses well. Cast is good, all actors and actresses played their parts well, plot is great, ending is great.

It is true some things may not make sense in the film, but that is why the genre is sci-fi, where things that don't make sense are explained at its best.

Extracted is a great movie. Highly underrated, but excellent.

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.

I'm taking the time to review this, which I often do not, considering I watch every movie that is released, because the rating on this movie is far to low. It's definitely not a 9 ( my rating standard is tough, ) which I have given it, but it's definitely far from a 5; I gave it a 9 in the hopes it's overall rating would be raised.

Anyways, how people are giving this such a bad rating are beyond me. Everything that you expect in a movie was there, great character portrayals, great writing, and obviously good direction. This director/writer I'll definitely be keeping an eye to see what he can do wit a bigger budget. Great work.

A little slow to get started but stick with it for 20 mins and you won't be disappointed.

Without giving spoilers, the ending was a little "by the numbers" and I might have preferred a twist of some kind rather than a straight resolution. In saying that, though, certainly doesn't deserve anything less than a 6.

There's certainly potential for a sequel here and the ending I'm thinking of would have lent itself to that. No matter, though,

A very creditable early full-length work by Nir Paniry, who should now try his hand at something even larger-scale.
