John Wick Chapter 4 - 7/10 not a huge fan of the serious but was entertaining enough with good charcters. Fast X - 3/10 Truly awful- Jason Mamoa should be blacklisted after taking this part.

Cade Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Extraction (2020) Thor stars as mercenary charged with the task of retrieving the son of an Indian crime boss. A solid action thriller.

Cade Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) Sequel is on the cards for tomorrow night. After the success of the first film, which was a low-budget, small-scale, claustrophobic film, the sequel has had a big budget increase in an attempt to kick-start this as an ongoing franchise, even moving towards big screen releases. And with that always comes with more story padding as things are set up for more sequels or other characters given more screen time to set up spinoffs. We know the drill by now. Franchises aim for the moon but often become bloated and choke to death on their own mythos. I'll see what I think about the sequel the morra.

Cade Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) Extraction 2 (2023) Bigger and bolder than the original but verging on sliding over the edge into John Wick levels of unreality. But if I wanted to Watch John Wick, I'd watch John Wick. They trying to make it into a long running franchise with the mysterious new boss being teased by Idris Elba....perhaps along the lines of Mission Impossible? But if I wanted to watch Mission Impossible, I'd watch Mission Impossible. I think Extraction is going to end up the Fast franchise, being shat out every 2 years and getting ever more silly and stupid. Sequel scores a 6.5/10.

The wee guy who was kidnapped in first film was sympathetic and decent on movie. You sort of felt he had connection to Hemsworth. In second film, the son was a prick from start to finish, and there was no connection between him and any of other actors. Bad casting or bad writing I guess but Extraction 3 will no doubt be with us in year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) John Wick 4. More of the same sort of stuff as the first 3, extended Uber violent scenes, well choreographed epic fights, and not a lot of dialogue. Thoroughly enjoyable, and a very brief post credit scene at the very end of the very long credits. Edit. And a serious work out for your TV sound system if you have one. I had to knock the subwoofer down a bit as the room was shaking at some points. Edited June 22, 2023 by Tazio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
