What critics compared 16 Blocks to
Similar to a number of actions films (the 2006 Bruce Willis/Mos Def movie 16 Blocks comes to mind, the former who also was apparently attached to the project at one point), Extraction isn’t destined to be well-remembered, but it suggests a return to sobering simplicities to a formula which excels with less mindless action and more human empathy (although the film doesn’t quite earn the Shane ambiguity it seems to be reaching for).
