Netflix's Extraction: Watch Chris Hemsworth Movie Director Risk His Life To Get A Shot
Netflix releases a cool behind-the-scenes video showing how the director put his life in danger to film the action movie.
The new Chris Hemsworth Netflix movie, Extraction, is all about action. One sequence in particular that goes above and beyond in terms of action, with director Sam Hargrave strapping himself to a car, putting himself in harm's way to get the shot.
Netflix has posted a cool behind-the-scenes video of one harrowing sequence from the shoot where Hargrave is attached to the hood of a car, using a handheld camera to film a scene involving a car chase. Check it out below.

This is part of Extraction's action-heavy "oner," which is an industry term for a series of long shots that are joined together to form a single, continuous shot. GameSpot's Extraction review praised this 11-minute scene, saying it's the high point of the movie.
Avengers: Endgame co-director Joe Russo, who produced and wrote the script for Extraction, said the filming of this sequence is "as risky as it gets" when it comes to filmmaking.
Extraction follows the mercenary Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) who goes behind enemy lines to save the son of a crime lord, Ovi, who is played by Rudhraksh Jaiswal. The movie premiered on Netflix on April 24.
In GameSpot's Extraction review, Dan Auty said, "It might not be in the same league as the best John Wick or Jason Bourne movies, but right now it's as close as we're going to get to a brand-new action blockbuster."
