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.

SPIES IN DISGUISE

Unbird me now! The Spies in Disguise- which is also Will Smith's second animation is a brilliant piece of work. Cast Will Smith (Lance Sterling), Tom Holland (Walter Beckett), Rashida Jones (Marcy Kappel), Ben Mendelsohn (Robotic arm Villain), DJ Khalid (Ears), Reba Mac in tire (Joy Jerkins). The story centers around a genius kid- Walter who has no social life but a talent for inventing non-dangerous spy equipment. He feels there is a less violent way to save the World and seeks the help of the world's best Spy- Lance Sterling (Will Smith) in order to achieve this. But we must keep in mind that all change is hard at the beginning, messy at the middle and eventually beautiful at the end. Okay, enough plot for now. Down to analysis. The flow between the two actors, Will Smith and Tom Holland was apt. Despite not seeing each other over the course of the 2 years which the film was being produced. The voicing from the ac...

TELENOVELAS IN RETROSPECT

Despite our various tribes and culture, there will always be something that links each and everyone of us together. Be it The UEFA Champions League, NBA's, Grammy's, Oscars. In that moment, we are not people of different cultures or tribes, we are one in thoughts. Before Zeeworld became a thing, Mexican telenovelas were already a hit. AIT and Galaxy made it their purpose to unite Nigerians with their novelas. So today, as a form of throwback, we take a look at some of those series that glued people to their seats. Those series that made people dismiss from fellowships early, and led to neighbors being closer. 11. The Woman Of My Life (1998) La Mujer de mi Vida A woman is blamed for the death of her husband after the murder weapon was found in her hands (okay, no offence, but if you find your partner dead, kindly weep from afar, don't go touching him or the murder weapon). She definitely goes through the impossible to prove her innocence. There's als...

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG

Okay. I absolutely adored this movie. I'm a sucker for games and movies. So when game characters are incorporated into movies so perfectly, I get all giddy. Cast Ben Schwartz,James Madsen, Jim Carrey, Tika Sumpter, Lee Majdoub. The redesign was totally worth it, even though it cost more money, it paid off. Spoilers ahead. I've watched different sonic cartoons and also played the game, but the movie was a hit. A blue alien hedgehog leaves his own planet because people want to use his powers..He comes to Earth-Green hill to be specific and spy's on all the neighbors, particularly the sheriff whom he calls "Donut Lord". But as it is with lending assistance to strangers, trouble always follows. Lemme start with the voicing for sonic. Ben Schwartz was pretty impressive in his voicing, sounding like a young boy and portraying how their mind works. Sheriff Tom (Madsen) was cool. Not so serious and not so unserious. Hi...
