TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Burkettonhe This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

megacoins 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.

Tayyaba Hassan it's a good thriller except the ending should be very complete :D I hate when they make a full movie and don't complete the ending. Else it shows when a bad luck strikes it doesn't come alone. I love the main character. love of family is a real.this movie is about how far you can go for your family to survive and to see them alive and happy again.

KGB_Yo A movie that leaves you still thinking about it afterwards ...is a good movie! All action thrillers have some element of 'unrealistic'. It doesn't matter...its not based on a true story.. I could really 'feel' the desperation of the father...just wanting to get back to that Island where his family lay helpless. You never saw him eat anything or even sleep because time was of the essence..just like Liam Neeson in Taken..the time factor was crucial. Its what made this movie an edge of your seat Thriller! The constant ticking of his brain for the next move just made you go YESSSSS!!! The extortionist was perfectly played..you hated him even though you see why he did what he did later.. Danny Glover was fantastic, just cool calm not overplayed as the cop in charge. The main actor was the father who at times resembled Bradley Cooper 😉. The only thing I would have liked is 'more' to the ending..like Taken..it leaves you that bit more satisfied that all is OK, whereas Extortion leaves you to assume it. Great movie nonetheless..I can see an Extortion2!!

Andreas Zeller 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.
