Later they receive word that Leonard, who was in New Jersey making sure a piece of hardware called Condor arrives, that Leonard and the Condor's been taken. The Director tries to find it and Harry wants to help but won't let him. So he bolts and goes to New Jersey. The director decides to let one of their agents who is Harry's ex to find Leonard and the Condor. She was also told to find Harry and send him back to Prague. But when she finds him, he convinces her to let him find his father and the Condor.

Trivia

Widely considered the original face of Women's Mixed Martial Arts, actress Gina Carano gets some on-screen action time in Extraction (2015), using her martial arts skills to quickly dispense bad guys and obstacles with precision and speed. At the time of the movie's debut, Carano was currently ranked as the third best female fighter in the world with a 7-1 record. Carano had left fighting years ago but still enjoyed doing stunt work.

Goofs

The Smith and Wesson Airweight has an internal hammer, yet when Victoria points the gun, you can hear the sound of a hammer being cocked. (This happens again when Harry uses it.) It has a 5-shot capacity, but after Harry puts one round in the pistol and rotates the cylinder (which would not make that typical movie clicking sound), he pulls the trigger five times.

Quotes

[first lines]
Captor: We have reason to believe you are not who you say you are, Mr. Parker. Your wife and son, Mr. Leonard Turner, CIA. I have men posted outside their door, back in Virginia, United States.
Leonard Turner: Come again?
Captor: For you to get this close, you must have friends, informants, collaborators, inside my organization. I want their names.

Leonard Turner: [begins writing] Everybody?
Leonard Turner: [suddenly stabs him with the pen and subdues everyone in the room] You look so stupid with that pen in your neck.

User Reviews

Drivel

I agree with most of other reviews when suggesting that Bruce Willis' name was simply used as an attractant. It isn't anything like normal Bruce films - this needs to be put on the bonfire and never seen again.

All the main actors Bruce Willis, Kellan Lutz, Gina Carano, D.B. Sweeney, Joshua Mikel, Steve Coulter, Theodore Sitterson were all good but I feel could have been so much better. The exception for me here was Gina Carano who I thought looked fantastic and was out- acting all others.

Also, son-of-willis got a few cuts on his face from a fight near the beginning which lasted throughout, but Gina Carano had a close-range face punch in a car later (with the perpetrator saying "sorry about the face" before he hit) yet she didn't have any marks on her face thru- out the film.

However, the one main criticism I have of this film is the VERY ANNOYING and persistent, and persistently bad music virtually ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

Don't see this movie. You know you won't get your 83 minutes of life back !
