Starts strong but goes downhill

Last night, i saw Extortion (2017) with high hopes, because the reviews were good, and the plot seemed interesting.And it starts off as a thrilling ride.The first two-thirds of the film excel in building a sense of urgency and desperation, drawing us into a tale of survival against nature's and human greed.The vacationing family, the doctor and his wife and son, become stranded on a remote island after a boating mishap and the escalating tension and moral dilemmas faced by the protagonist are portrayed remarkably well.However, the promising buildup takes an unfortunate turn in the final act, where the narrative begins to falter due to implausible situations. The descent into absurdity becomes more and more apparent as the once-grounded storyline travels into overly dramatic and unrealistic scenarios.One such instance occurs when this doctor suddenly transforms into an action hero, navigating through dangerous situations with unrealistic ease. The transition feels forced and really doesn't align with the established tone of the movie.Furthermore, the resolution of the plot relies heavily on convenient coincidences and improbable occurrences, further straining our suspension of disbelief.In conclusion, "Extortion" is a nice little thriller with its intense premise and compelling build-up. However, its downfall in the final act is marked by implausible situations and a departure from its initial realism. Despite its flaws, the film remains a decent watch for those who can overlook its shortcomings in favor of its thrilling early sequences.

We renamed it The "Carribbean" Fugitive

The first 20 minutes was fun making fun it. The next hour was straight up excitement. The pace picked up quickly, And so did we. From wondering why Danny Glover still looks uncomfortable with a gun, to how main character ended up making a bunch of phone calls to continental US with quarters he never had in his pocket. And the cigarette boat he was able to commandeer after failing to reliably captain a 9 ft outboard. Overall a very fun movie, thrilling really, with some wtf moments if you've ever been on a boat or a Caribbean vacation. Who gets on a boat in the Caribbean without certification and a gigantic bag of water, lip balm, sunglasses, hats, cash, and the biggie, a PHONE. The minute they left the broken lawn mower I knew they were doomed. This is a must watch for anyone who can't find a coconut on a desert island in the Caribbean. Or at the very least some pirate treasure. Have fun mateys!
