“Run!”

From Extraction.

When fourteen-year-old Ovi (Rudhraksh Jaiswal), the son of Indian drug lord (Pankaj Tripathi), is kidnapped by his father’s rival, Asif (Priyanshu Painyuli), the clock quickly begins to count down.  When Ovi’s currently-incarcerated father learns what has happened to his son, he tells his head of security, Saju (Randeep Hooda), to get him back by any means necessary.  Unable to take on Asif by himself, Saju hires mercenary Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) to find and rescue Ovi.  Unconcerned with the danger involved in interfering with the drug lords’ rivalry, Tyler agrees to take the job and travels to Bangladesh to meet the rest of the team hired to extract Ovi.  When they embark on the mission, organizer Nik (Golshifteh Farahani) designates Tyler the man that will actually go in to get Ovi while the rest of the team will provide transportation and support at the extraction point.  While the extraction initially goes successfully, when Asif learns that the boy escaped captivity, he uses the corrupt officials on his payroll to close the city of Dhaka.  Just before Tyler and Ovi make it to the extraction point, the rest of the team is ambushed which pushes the two back into Dhaka with a city full of soldiers intent on killing them both.  Trapped, set up, and injured, with no help from the team outside Dhaka, Nik tells Tyler that she can get him out if he abandons Ovi, but Tyler refuses to leave the boy.  With no other option but to fight his way through Dhaka to safety, Tyler reaches out to a friend (David Harbour) to help them come up with a new escape plan.  Forced to fight against both child and professional soldiers, Tyler risks everything to take Ovi on the fight of their lives as they try to make it back to India alive.

This action-heavy thriller is fast, intense, and captivating.  Hemsworth is a strong lead, easily filling both the self-loathing haunted man and the risk-it-all hero that his character requires.  The camera work is impressively fluid, especially during the brilliantly choreographed fight scenes.  The gore will be too much for some viewers, but anyone looking for an edge-of-your-seat thriller need look no further than Extraction.
