Extraction

I’m gonna keep this succinct.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey you. Yea, you reading this. Sup, shawty.

Look, you’ve seen this film before.

 

 

If you’ve seen the trailer, then you’ve already seen the film.

 

 

Use the 116 minutes I’m giving back to you for some good.

 

 

Unless you’re like a really big Hemsworth fan and you really want to see his “range,” then help thineself.

 

 

Otherwise. Go…go have fun staring at your toes or re-watching Big Mouth.

 


 

Imma have to start Archer-izing these action films and counting bullets. I know those glock magazines are not holding unlimited rounds without extendo clips.

 

I’ve seen this action film too many times, y’all. It’s a formulaic, paint-by-numbers, White savior, rescue mission film we’ve all seen before, with the same fighting choreography and rhythm.

 

Ay yo, also, how come every rescue mission-y movie always has a shot of someone from behind looking out of binoculars? I mean I understand the point of the shot—perspective shots are important for narrative structure, but damn. The “person-looking-off-into-the-horizon-with-binoculars” shot is al dente.
