Movie Review: "Extraction"



CAST
Chris Hemsworth (Tyler Rake)
Rudhraksh Jaiswal (Ovi Mahajan)
Randeep Hooda (Sanju Rav)
David Harbour (Gasper)
Pankaj Tripathi (Ovi Mahajan Snr)

      Whenever hype surrounds a movie two things are sure to happen. 1: it lives up to expectations. 2: it doesn't live up to expectations. Extraction is a 2020 Netflix movie starting Chris Hemsworth who plays the role of Tyler Rake.

SPOILERS
     The story is based on the decisions of a mercenary (Tyler Rake) who goes on that life changing decision and must decide to break protocols or not. And at his mercy is the abducted son of a drug baron (Ovi) who will experience the negative effects of being a drug barons child.
    Now back to that hype. I feel the hype was based on the stunt choreography. I must say that the fight scenes and gunfights were beautifully choreographed. Every action was caught precisely and accurately.

Was impressed with the role given to Ovi. Despite being young, he was well aware of his father's atrocities and never liked them. Coming to Tyler's aid was also impressive. The story, was really nothing new. We've seen likes of it before. There's always that one mission that touches their heart and in which they decide to make a fatal decision. 

I loved that CGI's were not used as the movie was shot in varying places: Bangladesh and India. If it had gone on to a box office it might have actually break even.
Oh, you need to watch out for the part where Tyler actually kills someone with his surname.
It was a good watch despite the misplaced hype. A 7/10.

The Gentlemen; Movie Review

CAST   Matthew McConaughey (Michael Pearson) Charlie Hunnam (Raymond Smith) Henry Golding (Dry Eye) Hugh Grant ( Fletcher) Michelle Dockery (Rosalind Fletcher) Jeremy Strong (Matthew Berger) Eddie Marson (Big Dave) Colin Farrell (Coach).       The words " drug" and " Mafia" have been known to be associated with blood, chain of commands and dirty deals. The world of drugs isn't one to be taken lightly as every action can be interpreted as either weakness or strength. The Gentlemen showed a slightly different approach to the drug world. It wasn't without deaths and orders but it hard a slightly comedic part to it. Spoilers ahead .      If you've seen the movie, then you can either agree or disagree with some of the wordings here. But if you haven't, I'll try to lessen the spoilers. If the movie had been 3hours long or even 4hours, I doubt if I would notice. Because I was glued to my screen till the very end. The blend and scenery was q...

Movie Review; Vampires vs. The Bronx

Cast Coco Jones, Method Man, Chris Reed, Jarden Micheal, The Kid Mero, Gregory Diaz IV, Zoe Saldana, Sarah Gardon. Vampires vs. The Bronx is about a group of kids trying to save their neighbourhood with amateurish vampire techniques—which come in handy. How do kids always have this confidence to face the evil that's new to them? If I as much as see a rat, I'm getting the hell out of that place—but not these kids. They uncover conspiracies and charge head-on. Impressive. They might not be able to stand up to school bullies, but they have what it takes to stand up to vampires and clowns.  The movie had a regular dose of finding one's strength in friendship and solidarity. And the usual community-never-believing-the-kids until the worse has happened or is close. Please, you must not divulge information to everyone. Don't take the bait and talk about how you're alone searching for a purpose or have no family around who'll miss you. That's how people...

Movie Review: A Madea Homecoming

Madea is back! Hallelujer! After the Madea Family Funeral we thought we had seen the last of this iconic screen character, but 2022 has given us a reason to laugh out loud. Movie Plot Madea's Homecoming surrounds the family getting together for Madea's great grandson's graduation ceremony. As expected when the Madea clan comes together, secrets are revealed and chaos the order of the day. Spoilers ahead First off, Madea is a great grandmother. Not grand. Great grand. That's three generations alive in the clan. How old exactly is Madea? Did she take some vampire blood?  Back to serious issues? What type of best friend helps her best friend divorce her husband and then fall in love with the best friend's husband to the extent of wanting to get married to him. That's wrong on so many levels. Especially if you include the fact that she was the attorney in charge of the divorce and the douche bag got everything from the divorce. Babe! She freaking broke e...
