Plot: After barely surviving the events of the first movie, Rake is back as the Australian black ops mercenary, tasked with another deadly mission: rescuing the battered family of a ruthless Georgian gangster from the prison where they are being held.
Review: When Extraction made its debut right at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, it was the action extravaganza we needed to pull us out of the pandemic funk. It went on to garner 99 million views in its first four weeks, the most watched Netflix original at the time. Three years later, Chris Hemsworth, Joe Russo, and director Sam Hargrave are back with the next chapter which manages to equal the action of the first movie while expanding the world in preparation for Extraction 3 and beyond. With more insight into Tyler Rake’s backstory and a very different mission before him, Extraction 2 is a rock-solid sequel and the...

“The score had to match the scope of the project. It’s a giant show. It’s a giant story,” explains composer Alex Belcher about composing the ambitious score for the global espionage thriller “Citadel.” For our recent webchat he adds, “it’s an international story that takes place all over the world in so many genres as well. We’ve got thriller aspects, comedy aspects, tons of action, tons of espionage. So, it’s a big undertaking and going into that opening section, it was like, Ok how do we convey to the audience right out of the gate? This is a big show, and it’s going take you on a big wild ride,” he says, admitting, “I probably spent more time on that opening three to five minutes than I have on anything else I’ve ever written.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

The “Bourne” movies revivified the espionage genre with their nimble, scrappy, down-and-dirty action. But they weren’t as widely imitated as one might have expected, which leaves “The Contractor” feeling like a relatively fresh chip off a not-so-old block. Chris Pine stars as a forcibly decommissioned U.S. Army careerist whom financial straits push him into a sketchy private militaristic security job. Needless to say, that goes south in a hurry.
Swede Tarik Saleh’s first American feature is more impersonally commercial than prior projects (including 2017 Sundance jury prize winner “The Nile Hilton Incident”), and more efficient than memorable as a medium-scaled adventure exercise. Still, being a solid cut above average is good enough, given so much formulaic mediocrity among thrillers cluttering the streaming market. Already released in several territories during March, the film is scheduled for launch to U.S. theaters, digital and on demand platforms April 1.

Composers Atli Örvarsson, Mark Mothersbaugh and Mark Isham led the list of winners announced Monday for the annual BMI Film, TV & Visual Media Awards, with the three scorers picking up six, five and four trophies, respectively.
Örvarsson, the Icelandic composer, is now up to 29 BMI honors with the six he adds this week. His new shelf’s worth of awards came for work on “Chicago P.D.,” “Chicago Med,” “Chicago Fire,” “FBI,” “FBI: Most Wanted” and “Defending Jacob.”
Mark Mothersbaugh, of Devo as well as scoring fame, was five-times rewarded for “Dirty John,” “What We Do in the Shadows,” “The Willoughbys,” “The Croods: A New Age” and “Tiger King.”
Mark Isham’s four awards came for “Judas and the Black Messiah,” “Honest Thief,” “Little Fires Everywhere” and “Togo.”
“I’m not that much of an awards guy, but even I’m impressed — four BMI awards,” Isham said in a taped acceptance speech.

Tales of fathers and sons are nothing new to movies. It’s all in how you choose to tell this story. For some, it becomes a gritty drama. For others, it becomes a silly comedy. Often, a road trip is involved. Actor turned writer/director James D’Arcy manages to take a tiny bit of all of that, shake it up, and spit out something more than a bit heartwarming with Made in Italy, a mix of comedy and drama that features a winning performance from Liam Neeson. Hitting screens this week, it’ll put a smile on your face and almost assuredly make you long for a trip to Italy (though I’d settle for a trip anywhere these days. Literally anywhere). The film is a dramedy (of sorts), with the focus being on a strained father and son relationship. The latter is Jack (Micheál Richardson), who is seeking to...

Without question, Chris Hemsworth is one of Hollywood’s biggest action stars. Playing Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will do that for you. Beyond being the God of Thunder in the McU, Hemsworth has displayed some underrated comedic chops, but in the new Netflix action flick Extraction, he’s given a largely humorless role. His killing machine main character is a throwback to the types of roles that action heroes a generation ago would have coveted, but the overall final product is uneven. For every step forward the film takes with intensity or a creatively staged action set piece, there’s at least one step back (if not more), in terms of senseless violence, narrative muddling, and some questionable racial elements. It all adds up to something that’s decent enough for a boring afternoon on Netflix, but not quite as good as it could have been. An old fashioned action movie,...

If you’re looking for a dumb, disposable action movie in which Chris Hemsworth relentlessly shoots generic bad guys with only a few quick breaks to tend to his wounds and feel sorry for himself, Extraction is the movie for you. Actually, this R-rated Netflix bullet ballet is built for the biggest screen possible with the decibel level pushed up to 11 (home theaters only, since the multiplexes are closed, dammit). No judgments here if you just want to hang back and let nonstop gore, gunfire, and explosions numb you into submission.

Universal City, California, December 19, 2019 – With the clock ticking down, an NYPD detective is plunged into the midst of a large-scale conspiracy, while trying to bring forth justice in 21 Bridges, arriving on Digital February 4, 2020 and Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand on February 18, 2020 from STXfilms and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. 21 Bridges is a gripping thriller that keeps audiences captivated with its twists and turns as the gray area between cop and criminal becomes more apparent. Hailed as a “battering ram of a movie” (The New York Times), the suspense and nonstop action of 21 Bridges allows viewers to take part in uncovering the many layers of the conspiracy themselves.
Led by Chadwick Boseman as the film’s fearless protagonist, 21 Bridges features an all-star cast with Sienna Miller, Stephan James, Emmy Award® winner Keith David with Taylor Kitsch and Oscar® winner J.K. Simmons. 21 Bridges is directed by Brian Kirk and written by Matthew Michael Carnahan and Adam Mervis.

In a world where sequels, films-based-on-toys and cinematic universes dominate the box-office (though splashing “produced by the directors of Avengers: Endgame” and starring the Black Panther himself (Chadwick Boseman) means 21 Bridges does cash in on its blockbuster connections), it is nice to see an original big-budget thriller on the big screen.
Irish filmmaker Brian Kirk, a director who earned his spurs behind the camera of Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones, tightly constructs a story set over a single 12-hour period and located exclusively in Manhattan. 21 Bridges is a smart, thrilling action movie that will win audiences over with an impressive turn from Boseman and a non-stop script at its core.
We begin with Andre Davis at the age of thirteen. His father, a celebrated cop, was slain on the street and Andre’s (Boseman) fearless ambition in life was set. Nineteen years later and he’s a disgraced...
