Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

vip-sam Very nice acting and the movie was thrilling and breath taken. But for real the mother should have take water for here child and some snack on boat trip like that

adonis98-743-186503 When a Caribbean family vacation takes a disastrous turn, a father finds himself at the mercy of a cold-blooded fisherman, and a desperate race against the clock to save his wife and son. Extortion is the kind of film that i didn't expect to be entertained from but it's damn good actually, the acting by Eion Bailey and Barkhad Abdi is great and you understand both sides. It's also nice to see Danny Glover in a good film again. The film is action packed and has you at the edge of your seat for almost the entire time it's like Taken meets The Fugitive since so many twists eventually happen. My only real issue with the film is a scene that involves a certain character very important for the main hero who wants to find his family and that character well something happens to him and it's so cheesy and sudden that feels like i was watching a different movie plus the ending cuts short. Overall this was still an enjoyable action movie with great acting and some great twists along the way. (8/10)

omendata Great direction and writing from Phil Volken; a name to watch out for if this film is anything to go by, thoroughly entertaining, great acting and suspense adds up to a gem of a movie.I wasn't hoping for much but every now and again you find a little diamond Of a film amongst all the coal and this sure exceeded my expectations.Danny Glover was his usual excellent self and all the actors performed admirably.Quite an exciting ride , so if you are looking for a decent action adventure thriller this one is it!This beats all of the high budget ones like Girl On A Train and virtually all of the rubbish that has come out this year!The ending almost left me speechless but then the helicopter appeared so it loses one star - ah well the yanks like a happy ending!

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.
