The first reviews for Sam Hargrave's Extraction dropped earlier today, and while they are decidedly mixed (currently boasting 57% approval on review aggregator RottenTomatoes), it looks like the upcoming actioner may be well worth your time this weekend as it features an absolutely electric performance from its star Chris Hemsworth (Thor: Love and Thunder; Avengers: Endgame).
The plot is fairly straightforward as it will follow a fearless black market mercenary named Tyler Rake (Hemsworth) who is tasked with rescuing the kidnapped son of an imprisoned international crime lord. However, things quickly take a turn and Rake and the boy both find themselves in way over their heads as the already deadly mission transitions from insanely difficult to mission freaking impossible.
Joe Russo wrote the script, and under AGBO, also served as a producer alongside his brother and Avengers: Endgame co-director Anthony Russo. Hemsworth was also a producer.
