Extraction directed by a guy I don't know and I hope I don't judge his entire career based on this movie, starring Kellan "Wooden" Lutz, Bruce "I'm here to pick up a pay check and there's nothing wrong with that" Willis, and Gina "Just stick to the action scenes and not the acting scenes" Carano.
Simply put one of the worst action movies I've ever seen. It's not even by the numbers as it tries so hard to be by the numbers. I honestly felt sorry for some of the bad guys in this movies as the choices the "good guys" made, made no sense to me. The fight scenes are boring, lacing any form of passion or heart. The characters and dialogue are not even by the numbers but completely boring and they even manage to go a few levels below boring. There were so many times the movie felt shot for TV versus shot for the movie theater. Then my wife informed the main character was one of the vampires from the Twilight movie and then it all clicked for me as they were trying to ride the wave of his "popularity" with this action movie.
A good example of how not to make a movie.
