The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

you're so unbelivebly ice-hearted, numbless, without any minimum feelings! predictable - No! it's wonderful life adventure, with spiritual messages about difficilties in life, and morality.who ever here think of himself as "know it all", and judge everything for the worst - is a poor small man, miserable person.because it's not about realism or not. this is not the issue. you should stop bringing good ideas and movies and stories down, shut t f up, and do something for yorself beside judging others accomplishments. get a life!grow t f up! you spoil stupid childrenawesome and deep movie, recommend very much. and if someone have better movies - i'll be happy to know which.

The scenario"A fun trip go horribly wrong" had been done countless time before and is one of my favorite movie sub genre but if only it well directed and this movie Extortion (2017) hit all the right note in my book.The movie told a story about a family man will do anything to get back his family when he get caught up in a deadly situation involving a local fish man.The thing i like the most about this movie is although the bad and good guy line is pretty clear from the beginning but the more the movie go the more you will feel sympathy for the bad guy brilliant played by Barkhad Abdi a very underrated actor you may recognize from Captain Phillips.The main character played by Eion Bailey also very good in this movie when it come to emotional scene and showing the die hard will of a man.I'm also very please when seeing Danny Glover in this movie despite being a supporting character.The thing turned me off the most is i freaking hate what they did with Barkhad Abdi character when they kill him off during the movie climax.

Hands down, one of the most entertaining movies I've seen in a long time and this is coming from a movie junkie. It starts out slow but the moment my boy Barkad Abdi appears, the movie takes you on some ridiculous ride! I love how the main character took action in ways that was similar to ones' own actions (ridicilous as it may be). The supporting actor was awesome in his roll and made some straight up evil moves that got one heated up pretty quickly. All in all, this movie left me clapping towards the end and that's what a movie should be doing. I'm baffled that it scored 6/10 on here, this movie is at least worth an 8.
