Michael Ledo The film centers around Sgt Mercy Callo (Jon Foo) who is not afraid to disobey orders. He is part of a special forces group that are tasked to go into a Chechen prison and extract a terrorist mastermind Rudolph Martin (Falk Hentschel). Vinnie Jones plays the British, coke snorting, sadistic warden of the prison while Joanne Kelly plays a civilian intelligence contractor who distrusts Callo because Martin was linked to his parent's plane crash death.The writing is not tight. In one line we are told the Chechens won't admit they are holding Martin, then shortly after that they claim they plan a public trial with their most famous prisoner. The dialogue is a snooze and the terrorist justification speech was amateur.The film has a few good scenes and a lot of bad ones. There is an opening sex/nudity scene in an Amsterdam brothel and then after that the film seemed to have been made for TV with nice commercial break stopping points. The soundtrack also had a few good swagger tunes, but for the most part was made for TV lame.The movie has action, fight scenes, and some minor blood. The major fighters can take at least 3 kicks to the head .This is a low end action-thriller.

makasiparsad I was initially not keen on watching it due to the low ratings at the time, but watched it anyways..and thoroughly enjoyed it! Movie started off rather slow, but had the terse storyline that an action movie should have. You know the type? ..One Man, One Mission.. that sorta thing! Action? Yeah - It had action & a dash of espionage too.. Reminiscence of the Rambo/Chuck Norris type movies of yesteryear. Doesn't look like a high-budget movie, but I would definitely watch the sequel (if one is made) Hint, hint, nudge, nudge @Directors. Storyline: So this team of soldiers go on a mission to extract a prisoner out of a Chechin prison. But the guards 'somehow' know their every move and thus, intercept & terminate all but one of the team. His name is 'Mercy', and even though he was rather aptly named, as is evident in the beginning of the flick (and somewhere's in the middle), he shows you no mercy unless you deserve it. Pretty gory kill-scenes #youHaveBeenWarned

SnoopyStyle It's an action adventure with some good fights but limited directing and writing skills. It's better than a B-level TV movie, but it's not ready for the big screen.It starts off pretty good. There's a guy chased out of a brothel. He's jumping, climbing, fighting. There is some pretty cool moves, and you'd think this guy is the lead. No!! He's a nameless bad guy. They keep him for one more scene where he gives up some intel and he's gone.Mercy Callo (Jon Foo) is actually the lead, and he took down the guy. If he's the lead, why not put the POV on him. This is especially important since Jon Foo isn't known. It is basic directing 101. It's one of the problems from writer/director Tony Giglio.The intel leads to the coveted "Brains of Terrorism" Martin who's imprisoned in a Chechen underground prison. The Chechens want him dead for past double dealing, so the US sends in a Black Ops group to extract him. The problem is they were expected by Ivan Rudovsky (Vinnie Jones).The camera moves are weak although he does try. The dialog is stiff. Even when the opportunity comes like Joanne Kelly bouncing into the first meeting, he doesn't take full advantage. This is definitely a weak job. There are some pretty good actors such as Sean Astin, Joanne Kelly, and Danny Glover. But they're back at home base going thru a weak secondary story that does little more than suck away screen time.Jon Foo is doing some good fighting, but that's all he has to offer. One fight in particular is pretty cool, although he never goes toe to toe with Vinnie Jones. When you pit somebody against Vinnie, you've got to let him take a swing. And shooting doesn't count.

Sweet_and_Lowdown77 Extraction was an entertaining action film that was just fun. It has a serious plot but the film never takes it self too seriously. All the actors do a great job. Sean Astin, Danny Glover and Vinnie Jones all do their thing. But it was the unknown stars of the film that really stole the show. I didn't know who Jon Foo or Falk Hentschel was before this. But I do now. Foo is a beast. And Falk has the looks and acting chops to be a breakout star. I just saw he's also in the new Nolan- produced Johnny Depp film TRANSCENDENCE.The tone of the film starts out serious, but ever so naturally, the film lightens its mood and becomes wonderfully comedic. It, however, never strays from the action nor does it forget it's plot. Some nice story twists and turns keep you guessing.I gave it 9 out of 10. Very fun solid piece. The first film I ever watched on Crackle. I'll watch more from now on. I'll also be on the lookout for more Foo and Hentschel.
