10 Best Netflix Original Movies Of 2020 - Ranked

10. Extraction

Extraction pulled in some insane viewership numbers back during its original release window, and overall, it ended up being one of the most-watched original movies of 2020, across any streaming platform.

Considering that the movie sold itself on the promise of polished action sequences and blockbuster thrills - at a time when those were lacking due to the widespread closure of cinemas - its popularity isn't surprising, and while Extraction isn't a great movie (its characters are generic, its story is hilariously predictable, and Chris Hemsworth is quite wooden), it doesn't half deliver in the spectacle department.

Whether it's car chases, gunfights, or hand-to-hand brawls, stuntman-turned-director Sam Hargrave has crafted something truly special here, with the movie's action easily rivalling some of the stuff in the John Wick series: it's technically impressive, gratuitously brutal, and most importantly, there aren't a million different cuts breaking up the punches and kicks into an incomprehensible jumble of shots.

Despite its narrative shortcomings, Extraction is fun, thrilling, and easy to switch your brain off to, which - after the year we've all had - is a trait that's more than welcome.
