Why Extraction Fans Will Like It: Extraction has certainly earned a reputation as one of the most enthralling action thrillers of recent memory with loving comparisons to its American contemporaries.
A S.W.A.T. team breaks into an Indonesia apartment building that doubles as a safe house for a powerful drug lord, who traps them inside when he learns of the invasion.
When they learn is that their commanding officer led them in without notifying his superiors, the operation becomes an impromptu escape that tests the instinct, skill, and endurance for the surviving crew as they face off against an army thugs.
However, if you ask me, Gareth Evans’ The Raid: Redemption, and its arguably superior 2014 sequel (neither of which are currently available to stream, but can be rented) are what set the new gold standard for cinematic depictions of hand-to-hand combat that few films before or since have come to close to reaching.
