Extraction

From the producers of Avengers:Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame  comes this action-thriller Extraction.  This movie is based on a graphic novel titled Ciudad by Ande Parks, The Russo brothers e.t.c. It is the story of a rescue mission gone wrong.
    The story is about Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) a mercenary and a former soldier. Tyler was offered the mission of rescuing a kidnap victim by his colleague Nik Khan (Golshifeth Farahani) and he accepted the mission. Tyler was to rescue Ovi Mahajan junior (Rudhraksh Jaiswal) the son of India's biggest drug Lord Ovi Mahajan senior (Panka Tripathi) who was in jail. Ovi jnr was kidnapped and taken to Dhaka by Bangladesh's drug Lord Amir Asif (Priyanshu Painyuli)

         Ovi senior could not afford to pay Tyler so he sent his henchman Saju (Randeep Hooda) to double cross Tyler and collect Ovi jnr from him after the rescue. Saju kills Tyler's entire team mates but Tyler manages to escape with Ovi. Asif was still after Ovi and he calls for the total lockdown of Dhaka.  Since the police officers were corrupt and scared of Asif they carried out the lockdown and barricaded the entry and exit points in Dhaka so Tyler and Ovi were trapped.
         Asif sends a group of youngsters to kill them but they did not succeed Tyler and Ovi are rescued by Gasper (David Harbour). Tyler's old team mate and friend based in Dhaka.  At Gaspers house, Tyler and ovi refresh themselves and rest a little while Gasper goes out. On getting back, Gasper tells Tyler that Ovi jnr has a $10 million bounty on his head and he advices Tyler to kill the boy. Tyler refuses and he and Gasper gets into a fight. Ovi who overheard them comes in picks up Gasper's fallen gun and shoots him.

             Tyler seeing how hard it will be to get Ovi back in India safely calls Saju for help and they decide to team up against the police and Asif's goons. Together they take Ovi jnr to meet the extraction team at the India Bangladesh border but not without facing life threatening attacks from the police and Asif.
             This movie is action filled and very interesting.  But overlooking all the violence and action in this movie it talks about the importance of family.  Tyler was trying to cope with the loss of his son and probably separation from his wife so he immersed himself in violence, fighting and killing . Ovi treasured his son (eventhough Ovi jnr does not think so)  and he was willing to do anything to get him back so he threatened the life of Saju's son that was why Saju tried to steal Ovi jnr from Tyler. He did it to keep his family safe.
