Extortion (2017)

Who payed the critics

Excellent, a Must See

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Overall its a 6+, not so good story and acting aswell, poor simple acts that wanst that close to reality.Anyway was a ok film once again, 1:40h well spent, worth to see.

When a Caribbean family vacation takes a disastrous turn, a father finds himself at the mercy of a cold-blooded fisherman, and a desperate race against the clock to save his wife and son. Extortion is the kind of film that i didn't expect to be entertained from but it's damn good actually, the acting by Eion Bailey and Barkhad Abdi is great and you understand both sides. It's also nice to see Danny Glover in a good film again. The film is action packed and has you at the edge of your seat for almost the entire time it's like Taken meets The Fugitive since so many twists eventually happen. My only real issue with the film is a scene that involves a certain character very important for the main hero who wants to find his family and that character well something happens to him and it's so cheesy and sudden that feels like i was watching a different movie plus the ending cuts short. Overall this was still an enjoyable action movie with great acting and some great twists along the way. (8/10)

I've never reviewed a movie before this is but this is my new favorite. Very suspenseful definitely kept me on my toes well written and great acting. A surprise around every corner. You will definitely catch yourself saying "O s**t" and cringing a couple of times throughout watching this.

I read a few of the reviews who hated the movie. "how did this make it to Netflix?" - I can tell you how :)It is entertaining. I read people complaining about how unrealistic the movies are. But those are the same kinds of people who love the Transformers series :) Not saying the movie is unrealistic, but let's face it. It's a movie, not a documentary.There are a few plot holes, I give you that. But as a software engineer I just roll my eyes when someone 'hacks into a system' (again) in some movie for the sake of storytelling.I do not need every single detail of the movie to be well researched. Which is why it is a movie.So much about the disclaimer :) The movie itself is good. Main characters do a great job, it takes you around a few turns in the Caribbean - and the overall message of the movie is great. Family matters more than money.I rate it 7/10 because of the things that other people actually hated the movie for. I liked it, I just consider those gaps in research 'flaws', not total failures :)It is definitely worth watching. It is well cast and entertainingly written and filmed. It's far from a B-movie or a low-budget production.Whoever calls this low-budget doesn't know the first thing about production value.
