Review: Extraction (2020)

Shawn and I are going to have a detailed discussion about the latest Netflix original, Extraction, on Friday's show, but I felt compelled to say a few words here for posterity sake. Don't forget to tune in Friday at 6:05 p.m., only on Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops, by the way... If you're looking for a pure action movie, one with just enough story, emotion and character development to carry an hour and 50 minute flick, this is the action movie for you.

Chris Hemsworth is back in action with Extraction

But this is no MCU movie; it's a hard-R actioner with violence and swearing galore. And we're A-OK with that! Check it out: Hemsworth is joined by David Harbour and Golshifteh Farahani. It hits the streaming service April 24, and you bet your ass we'll be watching! Source: Netflix
