It seems like only a matter of time until people are aflutter about That One Scene in Extraction, the Netflix action film reuniting a few key names from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One is star Chris Hemsworth, Thor himself.

Two is writer and producer Joe Russo, co-director of Captain America: Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinity War, and Endgame. And finally is director Sam Hargrave, who was Chris Evans' Captain America stunt double and Endgame's second-unit director - and who pulls off a crazy action sequence here, proving he's a filmmaker to be reckoned with.

Tyler Rake drinks and he kills people. Scratch that - Tyler Rake drinks and he pops Oxycontin and he kills people. There's some kind of PTSD death wish stew bubbling inside his skull, and lives in a shack in Australia which, despite the state of his mental health, amazingly isn't cluttered with empty Chinese-takeout containers and liquor bottles, unlike the depressing hovels the Punisher and various Liam Neeson characters live in.

About that job: DATELINE: MUMBAI: Ovi (Rudhraksh Jaiswal), the teenage son of India's most notorious drug czar, Ovi Sr. (Pankaj Tripathi), is snatched by Bangladeshi rival czar Amir Asif (Prianshu Painyuli) and held for ransom. Who can extract the hell out of young Ovi from a hell of a heavily guarded hellhole? Tyler Rake, that's who. So Ovi Sr. hires him to do just that.

Director Sam Hargrave didn't always know Chris Hemsworth was going to be the lead of his new #Netflix film 'Extraction.' They were originally looking in a different direction. Read what changed, at the link in bio.

Extraction goes for maximum direction, minimal story, just more than minimal character. It's plenty. (Compare it to a Michael Bay picture, which is maximum everything until you just want to die.) It presents a couple pretty compelling questions early on: How many times can one man get hit by a car and still walk, run, punch, kick, shoot, stab and snap spines? And why are the bad guys' sights always off in these movies?
