Can you take a movie with a white lead seriously ?


With so many black actors in Hollywood why cast a foreign white guy! In 2023 its tacky and vulgar. Im not watching this.
There are tons of Jewish and black actors that need work. Why not hire them ?

Sue your parents for not giving you an education.

You’re missing out, just finished watching it, damn good film. Can’t go wrong with a well written, hard R flick, my cup of tea, cheers.

"Well written"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Touché, well written for a hard R action flick. I know it’s hit or miss for many but I thoroughly enjoyed both Extraction films, The Gray Man too.
It’s nice to have a return to the graphically violent action films that the 80s and 90s gave us. And yes, I think the writing in all of the aforementioned was competently done.

Extraction was solid and unique. Extraction 2 was just so over the top it was absurd and silly. I don't think the filmmakers had the intention to make the viewer laugh his ass off while watching this...

As for the writing, it is extremely lazy and superficial and also completely foreseeable.
Literally everything that happened I could call in advance.

Nothing made sense, swarms of super geared ultra-trained enemies swarming in from absolutely everywhere at a moments notice, even via armed helicopters that later casually fly from Georgia to Austria.
That's a 3,5 hours flight with an AIRPLANE, let alone a fucking helicopter with zero range.

Of course, every round misses all the time despite them all being super soldiers, because otherwise the script can't happen, lol. The prison breakout was so fucking dumb, I literally facepalmed because it got so unbelievably absurd in the yard. Extraction 1 was already really pushing it with many scenes, but a lot could be handled with good old suspension of disbelief... but in this one!? Sorry no.

Some fight choreos were really solid, the violence, I agree, was "good old days" entertaining, but sorry, I expect a little more from a two hour movie.

And the fucking boy! Oh my God I wanted him to die so badly, his "arc" made absolutely no sense whatsoever and nobody gave a fuck! Imagine you're that idiot of a boy, how could you ever live with yourself after literally selling your MOTHER AND SISTER to your bloodthirsty uncle!? Him being so upset about his father being killed made no sense either.
But hey, the script needs to happen and the writers, as we know, are dog shit so this is what we get.

Ugh! No... unacceptable. Movie could have been so good so easily.

Also, it pissed me off to no end that they all had their G33 magnifiers up during pure CQC action.
Fucking hell put some effort into it, please!

Try enjoying movies. You'll be happier. 😀

People have standards. Some people's standards are higher, some are lower.
Mine won't allow me to look past all this nonsense, and while this might confuse you, I am happier for it.

Not buyin' that, pal!

Not selling anything, miss!

I'm 30 minutes in and..... yeah - it gets ridiculous very fast - and there's 90 minutes to go? Gonna fast forward this pile of crap.

reply

I like your posts man. Straight, no pretense, and stand by your opinion without condescension

reply

That’s very kind of you to say, thank you.

reply

I don’t get the location. Why set the film in some foreign land , poor and underdeveloped, makes for a very little flattering sight on film! Why not world elite locations like LA, Miami or NYC ? Places people can relate to vs this fictional poor county.

reply

Its cheap to shoot overseas. Extraction part one was made to stimulate Netflix subscriptions in The Sub Continent. The forecast was 1 billion new customers with that movie alone. Not sure what they wanted with Extraction 2 as it was pure drivel. They might want to cash in in Easter Europe.
Not sure black leather jacked mafia types watch too much TV.

The Czech Republic is a unitary parliamentary republic and developed country with an advanced, high-income social market economy. It is a welfare state with a European social model, universal health care and free-tuition university education.

Think again.

Is he liberal? I've never heard/read him speak about politics, to his credit.

reply

He, Cruise, and Keanu are not Brain dead conservatives like yourself quit trying to take ownership of them with your misguided cult racist party.

Wow. Unnecessarily harsh. I’m assuming you two have a prior history but without the context you sound like a psycho
