The Extortion (2023) User Reviews

Great all around. Nicely written, acted and executed.

[marton-maps · 7/10 · 23 August 2023]

This movie doesn't waste any time, it goes straight to the action/suspense and doesn't have any single minute wasted with annoying scenes or filler scenes or anything that doesn't advance the plot.

Very well acted, specially for me, Pablo Rago deserves a praise for his role. The dialogs are real and simple, sometimes that's the most annoying thing about argentinian films.

Another thing to say about this movie is that not one single character makes something stupid like in most movies. Every one acts real and you don't have that desire of facepalming yourself.

I really recommend you watching this movie. Time will fly by, because it keeps you hooked until the very end.

Cheers!

Finally

Finally an Argentine feature reconciles me again with the national film industry. Since «Wild Tales» I haven't connected with a story on a sensorial level, I haven't felt the real pleasure of watching something at the cinema, and not at home distracted by my cell phone.

Guillermo Francella's work is really of another level, but what I highlight the most is that a genre film surprises me again with the classic tools to do it. From the very beginning, it gradually leads you to the idea that you are not in front of just another generic example, made without ideas or passion, but it becomes a true exponent of how this kind of movies should be nowadays.

Hopefully it will open the door for many to imitate its rhythm, wit and simplicity.

Not another one about the military!.

It's refreshing to see a good Argentine production that is not about the military regime, the disappeared or that time in the darkest time of Argentina's history.

It's more refreshing to see a movie that is not trying to copy another one that was a success in the past. Namely, Esperando La Carroza... And the embarrassing attempt they made with, Más respeto que soy tu madre.

It's great to see Guillermo Francella, not trying to be funny or doing the same as always.

This really is a suspense thriller, with twist and turns.

As an Argentine, I'm really proud about this one. As much as I am about, Love after Music.

finally a dark thriller like ''carancho'', made in argentina, dark and dramatic

[Cinema2kMendoza · 10/10 · 19 July 2023]

I have watched this movie finally, and is dark and a real thriller, finally they found a good story to tell, good actors and the director knows how to make the dramatic scenes real. Francella, i remember him since i was a child because his comedies, here he plays a drama with the best acting since darin played that ambulance chaser in carancho. Finally, a argentinian movie that deserve to be seen, and is dramatic all the time. A real thriller.

Every actor here plays the best, everybody is convincing in their roles. I am proud, finally¡¡¡ wish now that francella is into thrillers that he made another thriller like this, because is the kind of movie i can watch always.thank you everybody, finally i can add a argentinian movie into my favorites¡¡¡
