Cinemasins rakes Chris Hemsworth's comic-based Netflix action movie over the coals and extracts Everything Wrong with Extraction. (It's funny because the character's name is Tyler Rake).
Extraction is the 2020 feature film based on the 2014 graphic novel Ciudad by writer Ande Parks and artist Fernando Leon Gonzalez from a story by Joe and Anthony Russo.
Chris Hemsworth plays Tyler Rake, a hardened mercenary tasked with travelling to Bangladesh to recover the kidnapped son of an international crime lord. When it's clear he and the boy are pawns in a power struggle Rake's mission turns into a soul-searching race to survive.
The story for extraction was developed by the Russo brothers, when their star was on the rise for directing Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The story was first presented in comics form by Oni press, even as the film was in development. The Russos are producers on the film and Joe wrote the screenplay.
The movie is directed by Sam Hargrave, mostly known as a stunt coordinator, who worked with the Russos on all their Marvel films.
