Review of Extraction

Extraction (II) (2015)
A poor script and poorly told story
6 March 2016
This film tells the story of a CIA agent who is kidnapped and held hostage by terrorists who have got control of a device that is capable of detonating nuclear bombs around the world. His son goes through hurdles after hurdles to try saving him from danger.

The plot of "Extraction" sounds very exciting, but it is actually very poor. I have to say that the fight scenes are frequent and every one of them are intense. The actors and actresses really fight hard. However, the plot is very poorly told. There are many things unexplained. They have forgotten to state the obvious, and just suppose that the viewers understand what is going on. For example, Harry Turner and Victoria goes into a woman's house to change. I have no idea who that woman is, but she seems to be pivotal in subsequent scenes. Then, at the end of the film, a bearded man gets into the car with this mystery woman. This bearded man is not introduced, and I am quite certain I have not seen him before in the film! In addition, this mystery woman says cringe worthy lines that ruin the film. Comic relief is not done like this. After watching it, I am quite puzzled as to what the film is really about. Even though the fight scenes are good, it is not worth the time or money to watch it.
