If you've seen "Dreamscape" or "Inception" then you'll have an idea what this movie is like. A man named Tom Jacobs (Sasha Roiz) invented a machine and a process to enter the minds of others in order to review their memories. He only needed funding to make his dream a reality. His funding source happened to be the Department of Corrections. His test subject was Anthony Willis (Dominic Bogart), a man convicted of killing his girlfriend. Tom was to enter Anthony's mind and see whether or not Anthony was the real killer. Unfortunately, an error occurred and Tom got stuck in Anthony's mind indefinitely. Anthony went on living normally, albeit behind bars, while Tom was stuck in a vegetative state.
"Extracted" was like a "Black Mirror" episode (which I happen to love). It was good sci-fi with adequate suspense. This is a low budget film that gets the most out of every dollar. I was bothered a couple of times with Tom's wife Abbey (Jenny Mollen). She was a bit too impatient for me for a woman whose husband was missing for four years. Specifically, when she was walking out on Anthony because he didn't spit out an answer for her quick enough. It seemed very irrational.
As a refresher: Tom (the scientist) met Anthony (the convict) in his head and told him to get a hold of his wife to let her know he was still alive because she didn't know where he was for the last four years (yeah, he was stuck in Anthony's head for four years). To get Abbey to believe Anthony, Tom told Anthony very personal details about Abbey that only he'd know. She agreed to meet with Anthony, asked him a personal question only Tom could answer, yet didn't want to give Anthony two minutes to get the answer. It seemed very cold and petulant to me. She hadn't seen hide nor hair of her husband for four years and she couldn't wait two minutes to confirm that Anthony could really talk to Tom?
I don't want to overblow that interaction, it was just one of those things that bothers you enough to stick out. This was still a good movie and well worth watching.
