Chris Hemsworth plays Tyler Rake, a black market mercenary who has nothing to lose in the movie, Extraction. In this movie, our god of lightning is hell-bent on salvaging the life of a child who was kidnapped by a rival drug lord. This kid is not just any kid. His father is an international crime lord, who happens to be in prison and he hired Tyler to rescue his son.
Now we already know that Chris Hemsworth can pack a mean punch or two but all we mostly see is him using the hammer right? This time, its actual modern combat. The fight scenes are enthralling, involving even. You can literally feel the painful taste of each blow. It’s that good. Apart from enjoying Chris Hemsworth’s fighting skills we get to see his journey through the streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh’s capital, as he tries to keep the boy safe from the police and criminals all under the rival drug lord’s payroll. The unlikely bond that forms between the two is simply heartwarming and suddenly, the hired black market mercenary has everything to lose.
Brought to you by Sam Hargrave as director, Joe Russo as writer and of course Chris Hemsworth, Extraction made its debut on Netflix on April 24th. And, yes, I cannot wait to watch it and I seriously suggest that you watch it as well. Forbes actually describes this movie as “Netflix’s best blockbuster movie.” If you have not had a glimpse of it yet, please watch the trailer below.
