Extraction

Plot synopsis:
In 2005, undercover CIA operative Leonard Turner (Bruce Willis) is held captive and interrogated by a group of unidentified Russian arms dealers. His interrogators have been aware of Leonard's true identity and demand a full written list of individuals and businesses affiliated with the CIA in exchange for the safety of his wife and son. Leonard breaks from captivity and kills his interrogators, phoning his colleague Ken Robertson (D.B. Sweeney) to get his family to safety. Leonard's wife, Kate, was fatally shot by the interrogator's affiliates, while his teenage son, Harry (Nathan Varnson) hesitates on shooting the home invaders before being rescued by Robertson.
In 2015, an adult Harry (Kellan Lutz) joins the CIA's Prague branch under Robertson's wing much to Leonard's disapproval. While working as an analyst, Harry undergoes numerous field agent training sessions only to be rejected repeatedly by Leonard behind the scenes.
Meanwhile, Leonard is given an undercover assignment to recover an item called The Condor, a mobile computer capable of hacking the entire global telecommunications infrastructure that can only be deactivated with a physical key. While Leonard attempts to recover the device in Newark, New Jersey, he is ambushed and captured by arms dealer Drake Chivu (Joshua Mickel).
C.I.A. Station Chief Theodore Sitterson (Steve Coulter) is brought up to speed on the recent development and assigns field agent Victoria Phair (Gina Carano) to recover The Condor while keeping Harry out of the investigation. Incensed, Harry breaks free from his security escort led by Higgins (Dan Bilzerian) and flies to Newark in order to investigate Drake's associates.
Harry's first visit is to a biker bar known for its business association with Drake. After instigating a fight and interrogating the patrons, Harry learns that Drake's brother is the lead mechanic at a local garage. Harry also encounters Phair, having previously parted from a romantic relationship on bad terms during their training. Harry only agrees to return after helping her recover the Condor and after rescuing Leonard. After interrogating Drake's brother, Harry and Phair learn that Drake is holding a party in a local nightclub. Enlisting Phair's roommate, Kris (Lydia Hull), Harry and Phair enter the nightclub. Meanwhile, Sitterson reviews Leonard's video-recorded ransom and prepares an assassin for deployment in suspicion of Harry having committed treason, much to Robertson's dismay. The assassin ambushes Harry in the nightclub's restroom while Drake captures Phair.
Maintaining contact with their communications earpiece, Phair gives clues to Harry while he and Kris try to locate Drake's car. The final destination leads them to an abandoned factory, where Harry is tranquilized by Drake himself before being reunited with Leonard. Harry regains consciousness and is reunited with his father, only to find himself questioned on the people aware of Harry's whereabouts. Harry only confides that he told Robertson about his last known location, with Leonard's approval. At this point, Leonard reveals to his son that he went rogue and allied himself with Drake in order to draw out the people interested in recovering the Condor, as well as the perpetrators and CIA mole responsible for Kate's death. During the business deal, Leonard demonstrates the Condor's capabilities by sabotaging China's electronics infrastructure before double-crossing the Russian customers. The Russian customers have been revealed to be responsible for purchasing Leonard's personal information and ordering Kate's death, while Leonard has Harry fatally shoot the Russian ringleader.
After seemingly tying up the loose end, Robertson and Higgins intercept the Turners, with Robertson revealing himself as the mole responsible for Leonard's blown cover, and also responsible for the recent assassination attempt on Harry. Robertson shoots Leonard in the stomach. Phair breaks free from captivity and shoots at Drake's henchmen while Higgins engages Drake in hand-to-hand combat. Harry engages in a car chase with Robertson and fatally wounds him with a vehicle collision. Shortly after recovering the Condor, Harry destroys the device with an assault rifle to prevent it from falling to enemy hands and mourns his father's death before leaving the scene with Higgins, Phair, and Kris.
During the aftermath, Harry gives Phair a phone call to rekindle their romance before killing Drake with a car bomb.

Review:
Is the old Bruce Willis back in an exciting action movie?
I'm quite stunned to see that out of so many producers on this project that it looks as if not one of them done anything to make the film worth watching.Extraction is a film which is riding the coattails of Bruce Willis, knowing that with his name on the picture a lot of people would go check it out.
I've always been a fan of Bruce Willis and what I saw in this movie truly upset me to see, the film is horrible.
The dialogue never gets better and though most of the fight scenes are okay, enough of them are badly staged that it detracts from the only thing that makes the film worth seeing.
How many lines of text does one need to state the movie is disappointing, bad, not entertaining, overdone as to violence, poorly scripted, using no-name unbelievable unattractive actors.
Do not waste your time watching this movie as I have spent trying to reach the required (ten) number of lines of review in order to allow my review to be accepted.
It isn't anything like normal Bruce films - this needs to be put on the bonfire and never seen again.All the main actors Bruce Willis, Kellan Lutz, Gina Carano, D.B. Sweeney, Joshua Mikel, Steve Coulter, Theodore Sitterson were all good but I feel could have been so much better.
Also, son-of-willis got a few cuts on his face from a fight near the beginning which lasted throughout, but Gina Carano had a close-range face punch in a car later (with the perpetrator saying "sorry about the face" before he hit) yet she didn't have any marks on her face thru- out the film.
One which stars Bruce "Moonlighting & "Die Hard" Willis and sexy fighter turned actress Gina Carano.
The latter is set to be on DVD and the i- net later this month.I have seen Bruce in much better action films, especially "Die Hard "1 & 2 and "The Jackal" with the brilliant Sidney Poitier.
Bruce here plays a CIA agent who gets captured by the enemy on a very important mission,and the son,who's a cia wannabe field agent have to find him and save him.That's basically the entire storyThis movie is nothing new under the sun.
And the male lead is such a bad actor you laugh.Every time he knocks down someone,he takes a half a minute pause,just to gloat There's no chemistry between him and Gina,and they are suppose to be ex lovers.They try to convince you they were once a couple, with mixing some baby talk in between and talking in half sentences.Pretending they have long history together..But alas the chemistry is all wrongWhats worse is, every darn bad guy know MMA.no matter how low on the totem pole they are,they seem to be excellent figthers.
The direct to video kung fu/ martial arts action movies ,with Michael dudikoff,jean claude,Steven seagal,Dolph lundgren etc.When every bad guy they came up against knew martial arts?
You had good elegant fighting scenes,with the camera way back.Heres the problem.Back in the days,that stuff worked.You were okay with every bad guy knowing kung fu,it worked,because it was that type of movie.
I have been a fan of Bruce Willis and watched all his movies and I can clearly say this is the worst.
Phair lady Gina Carano deserved more screen-time, she was sort of a wasted talent in this and was proll'y not supposed to upstage Kellan Lutz who did a good job overall - he's believable as a tough guy.
Bruce Willis has very limited screen time - an aging movie tough guy passing the torch.For me, it works.I'd simply ignore some of the "reviews" on this site.
The film reminds me of, The Cold Light of Day, both involved Bruce Willis playing a dad whose son joins the family business of espionage after hit with tragedyBut instead of Man of Steel's Henry Cavill, we get some new guy, Kellan Lutz.
I was thinking that she was in the film as a backup just in case the new pretty boy falls short, which he does, and she would pick up the slack, but she acted as no more than just the love interest for the hero, which is so lame, cause I seen her do too many amazing fight scenes to be second rate in this film.
Speaking of second rate, Bruce Willis most likely lends his name to the movie in exchange for a big pay check.
Just enough to give the character a little more depth than the others (guess he did not want young and hot new action star to upstage him)So the movie is not as bad as I'm making it out to be.
Whilst sitting at work with nothing better to do i thought that i would watch this film as i had just finished watching "A Good Day To Die Hard"(iv'e got an easy job) so i thought i'd stick to watching another Willis Movie, first 5 minutes i could not stop laughing,just look at the cable ties holding Bruce,trust me you will notice it,they change a Lot,the acting is terrible,Willis is in the movie for only a short time,the fight scenes are straight out of the 80's and the whole film probably cost £99 to make, but the Gaffs make it watchable as there are such a lot,and you do not need to wait long for another to pop up, if it had been a Danny Dyer film you would expect it to be this rubbish and cheap,but it's not.Waste of time.2/10 and only for the rubbish editing it makes it laughable..
Bruce Willis's Other Bad Movie from 2015.
Over a year and a half ago, I reviewed a Bruce Willis movie called Vice.
While no movie did that, despite Fantastic Four's valiant effort, at the end of the year, another Bruce Willis movie came out in the action thriller genre that also got a VOD release called Extraction.
But that's the only good news I have, because it's another Bruce Willis movie in the action thriller genre that only got a VOD release playing to the top-name actor's pedestrian-level abilities.
As an avid action movie fan I hoped for an evening of mindless explosions, sarcastic humour while watching a now familiar story line, what a disappointment.
Being a Die Hard fan, Tears of the Sun and seeing Bruce Willis in the main cast I was hoping to see some RED action with a good female sub-lead in the ranks.
Bruce Willis will always be a favorite but maybe it is time to retire and leave the CIA roles to the new guys, how about RED 3?
Gina Carano, I am all for tough chick action, hopefully she will get a better chance in the Mutant, Superhero genre seeing low-budget movies use her as a prop for a bad script wanting to have some female blood to mix it up - mega fail in this movie.
Newly trained CIA Agent Harry Turner (Kellen Lutz) learns that his father, Leonard Turner (Bruce Willis), a seasoned CIA agent has been kidnapped by terrorists who also want The Condor, a unit that will control all the telecommunications on the planet.
Surprisingly not a movie about dental procedures but about as much fun as a visit to the dentist.As many have said, Bruce Willis has very little screen time.
It looks like they didn't pay him enough for more than one facial expression ('serious') and I hate to say it but this reminds me of many recent Steven Segal, outings, specifically the execrable 'Sniper: Spec Ops', i.e. the great man shares little or no screen time with other actors so they can easily add him into scenes during editing.
I imagine the inexperienced cast members were excited to appear in a Bruce Willis movie but it's hard to see how this will help their careers.Ultimately it's the kind of movie you fast forward through primarily to avoid the pain of seeing it in your 'continue watching' queue on Netflix..
The fight sequences are pretty well done, Gina Carano is a fine film fighter and so are Kellan Lutz and Bruce Willis, age notwithstanding.
Kellan Lutz and Gina Carano have careers as action stars and given better scripts and some experience under their belts have the ability to make some fine films in the future.
So bad very bad awful and terrible the other honest reviews said already what a bad bad movie this is cashing in on Bruce Willis name...but I had to say it too how bad this movie is terrible awful absolutely lame and boring and couldn't watch it of course only the first 20 minutes or so then I had to write this.and of course 10 lines of text is a joke mister IMDb I do not get why you have to want ten lines when sometimes you can say everything with just a couple of words and ten lines is so much extra waste of time for this wanna be movie.
It had a good cast - well at least Bruce Willis (although it was clearly a paycheck film for him.) The story line seemed to just be have been nipped from a half dozen other movies.
Saw 'Extraction' because Bruce Willis has done good films and given good performances in the past, 'Die Hard' is a genre landmark and his performance is iconic in that.
Expectations were not high though, because Willis has been past prime for a while (several bad films and has looked tired and disengaged a lot).'Extraction' is not a good representation of him, if not as bad as 'Vice' and especially 'Reprisal'.
Decent hand-to-hand fight sequences save low budget actions film (which Bruce Willis is barely in).
The story involves Willis as a CIA operative who's kidnapped within the first few minutes of the film and it's then up to his son, Kellan Lutz, and real-life MMA champion Gina Carano to rescue him.
Overall, this low budget action film does feature some decent fight sequences that make it worth watching, but the film's overall low production value and rather thin story do make it pretty obvious to audiences that this is not a something of "Die Hard" or "Haywire" of quality.
Maybe he should try ballroom dance.Its OK if you want to watch an action fight movie when you got nothing else to kill time.
This movie essentially begins with a veteran CIA field agent by the name of "Leonard Turner" (Bruce Willis) being abducted by terrorists who also manage to seize a valuable piece of computer technology from him in the process.
As it so happens, Leonard has a son named "Harry Turner" (Kellan Lutz) who works as an agent for the CIA as well but because he hasn't been certified as a field agent he is not allowed to become involved in the rescue of his father or the reacquisition of the computer equipment in any manner.
Bruce Willis and Kellan Lutz play the role of father (Leonard Turner) and son (Harry Turner) C.I.A. agents.
Sweeney and Willis are reliable, Lutz isn't given enough to work with, Carano is getting a little better with her voice-acting and we get to see her make out with another girl, in what is perhaps the highlight of the movie.
There was a time, when seeing the name of Bruce Willis in a movie meant entertainment or even quality(Die Hard, Sixth Sense).Not anymore.
Kellan Lutz and Gina Carano, not a really bad acting, but, you get to wonder.
Bruce Willis is a sell-out ( he is like a actor version of a hooker) and recently become synonymous with low budget action B-Movies.
Its not a problem for me and i didn't care.Kellan Lutz have potential as an action star, he truly does, but he need to choose his movies a bit better.
The story start OK and is overall decent for the most part of the movie but the action is ...bad.
In the Blood was a typical B action movie but it worked cause the story was engaging and again Gina did some solid fights.
Even though the fight scenes are good, it is not worth the time or money to watch it..
You Can't Go Wrong Watching Bruce Willis Movie.
Dismal thriller with Bruce Willis making another one of his $1 Million a day appearance as CIA agent who wife was blown away by some European baddies some years back and his teenage son threatened.Ten years later Willis is held hostage and his son, now a desk bound CIA agent defies orders and sets out to rescue him with the help of fellow agent and ex girlfriend, Gina Carano.The film looks cheap in the opening sequences with too much bright light, the script is full of clichés, the action scenes are uninspired, I actually felt they wasted Carano's talents for the action sequences.There is a family best friend who we can guess early on has obscure motives and of course given his fee, Willis is used sparingly throughout the movie..
It has Bruce Willis after all, and while not known for his great acting, he is one whose work in action films has been very popular.
The director wasted most of his budget on the opening credits, which looked quite good, and a couple of the action scenes were half decent but once the whole save the world concept came into play, it became really annoying and the technical jargon just got on my nerves.
Anyway, Leonard Turner (Bruce Willis) is a highly decorated CIA agent who loses his wife at the beginning of the movie and seeks revenge by setting up the people who killed her.
His son, Harry Turner (Kellan Lutz), who is moving up the ranks as a CIA agent, hears that his father has been kidnapped, so he takes it upon himself to try and save his dad, even though the head of the agency told him to stay away from the case.
Gina Carano played her usual "tough girl" type of role but I really don't know what the hell Willis was doing in this film.
I think you can tell that I thought this film was bad but I will give it a couple of stars for the action scenes.I recommend this movie to people who are into their action/thrillers starring Bruce Willis, Kellan Lutz, Gina Carano, D.B. Sweeney, Joshua Mikel and Steve Coulter.
Yes it is predictable and yes the acting is mediocre but I don't really watch action movies for Oscar winning performances.
Bruce Willis has been taken, by this lackluster second rate action movie.
There are some action fun from combat, though they are brief, too few and scattered throughout disjointed mandatory set pieces.Bruce Willis can deliver a good action movie and Extraction is primed for humorous quirky relationship with younger actors, he has done this gig before in RED.
Now, he must race against time and utilise his combat training to take down the terrorists and save his father.......In some perfect world, the surname Turner would be changed to Church, and this would be a spin-off to The Expendables, telling us just what happened to Mr Church and reveal that Lutz was really his son, thus linking his character to part three.But it's not, it's another direct to DVD clunker that has Willis sleepwalk through his role, looking forlorn and lethargic, and he's only in it for around twenty minutes, although his character is pivotal to the narrative.So we have Lutz in full on action man mode, escaping his protection and going on the run in Prague, fighting almost everybody who crosses his path to gain a little information on his fathers whereabouts.Add a bewildered D.B Sweeney with a look on his face like he's longing for The Cutting Edge to get an anniversary re-issue, and Gina Carano as the love interest, and you are left with the afterthought 'Does Willis really value his fans opinions anymore'.It's a terrible movie, something you have seen a thousand times before, with every action cliché thrown in for good measure, from the Russian roulette sequence, to the smoke grenade, to the bar fight, we've seen it a thousand time before, and a lot better.Lutz seems to have the potential to do some decent acting, but if he carries on taking roles that are suitable for his frame rather than his range, he will be soon forgotten, just like Taylor what's his face.Throw in some silly twist at the end, and your left with another dud for the once great Willis.
The opening scene in fact where we get to watch action hero/legend Bruce Willis kick some serious a$$ in old school fashion made me think...okay maybe this will be something and then it crashes faster than a speeding rocket.
I have a good idea that Bruce Willis fans - if there are any left after him doing dreck like this for the past few years - will be especially disappointed by this movie.
The whole plot seemed weak.Not the best Bruce Willis film out there, but better than that one where he dies early and his son has to use his cell phone (The Cold Light of Day).
I settled in to watch "Extraction" knowing only that it featured Bruce Willis and possibly that it involved the CIA.
By the end of the movie, it's fair to say that this isn't really a Bruce Willis movie at all since he plays second fiddle to actor Kellan Lutz, who plays a character named Harry Turner.
Now if someone asked me, "Do you want to watch a Kellan Lutz movie about the CIA?", I might say, "I don't know...it might not be good if a familiar actor isn't the lead." Having watched this movie, my words would be justified.
EXTRACTION is an acceptable B-movie thriller with a lead role for THE EXPENDABLES 3 actor Kellan Lutz and a guest part for Bruce Willis.
