Extracted

Almost great...
The premise of this film is good, being in the same neighborhood of ideas as Inception. Unfortunately, the writing isn't up to par and it all adds up to a so so ending. If you are a fan of the genre, you'll probably enjoy it but wishing there was more to it.

Coulda Been a COntendor
Somewhere between "Inception" and "Dreamscape" Lies this film "Extraction." As good as some of it might be, the bad drags down the good.

Here's the scoop. Tom (Sasha Roiz) has invented a gadget that can help relieve troubled people such as war vets, abused children, etc by extracting the bad stuff from their brains. Tom's agent is having a hard time selling it because it's merely a 'do good' device. But when the Department of Corrections wants to know if they can reverse the machine's operation to go into a person's head to determine his guilt he might have a sale and get rich from it. The first test goes horribly wrong with bad news for Tom.

There is a lot to like about this movie. Much of the idea surrounding the machine and the subsequent tech-talk dialogue is spot on. It sounds amazingly authentic. Tom's reluctance, on moral grounds, for going into someone's head and digging around, is also good. It's a mix of how people's brains work,...

Yawn
This is one boring movie with a twisted, not well thought out plot involving some guy getting stuck in another guys head. Actually, this movie is so boring, you are going to need an energy drink to stay awake!
