‘Extraction’ review: Come for the action, stay for the … nah, that’s it

'Extraction' is an excellent piece of action filmmaking that falls short of the more emotionally resonant goals it wants to set for itself. – Netflix

The first words spoken by Chris Hemsworth in the new Netflix action picture Extraction are ”Hold my beer.” Then his character – former soldier turned brooding mercenary Tyler Rake – jumps off a cliff into the quarry reservoir below.

That sense of braggadocio and one-upmanship pulses faintly through the film, but is weighed down by an odd need to seem serious, too.
