Synopsis

The owner of a factory that produces flavor extracts, Joel Reynold seems to have it all, but really doesn't. What's missing is sexual attention from his wife, Suzie. Joel hatches a convoluted plan to get Suzie to cheat on him, thereby clearing the way for Joel to have an affair with Cindy, an employee. But what Joel doesn't know is that Cindy is a sociopathic con artist, and a freak workplace accident clears the way for her to ruin Joel forever.

thornton-70038 Really good! Absolutely enjoyed it. Definitely recommended.
mistoppi There were a lot of good actors in Extract, but some of the casting decisions were quite surprising. I didn't expect to see Bateman and Affleck in a same movie, but it still worked out pretty well.The story was more interesting than the summary made me think. A lot of things were happening at once, which is a lot better than focusing on one thing during the entire film. I think they didn't let us get to know all characters as well as they could've.There was all kind of humour in this, even black humour, but they used way too many types for it to be effective. That means some viewers only respond to some kind of humour and not all of it, even if they recognize "oh yeah, that was probably supposed to be funny". The movie had a lot of potential, but for some reason it didn't live up to that potential. Now afterwards I'm not really feeling anything. I don't feel good or bad or amused. I just feel like that was a movie, very general and very decent. Technically it was well- made, but for some reason it feels like Mike Judge didn't work hard enough. This movie worked but it doesn't stand out in any way.
Armand one of film about crazy situations from everyday life. crisis- in personal life and business- of an ordinary guy, interests of a seductive young woman, gallery of stupid/crazy/hilarious characters, a too good friend, an accident and a business in fragile balance. result - a series of scenes who seems be from known cultural areas but enough cool for amusing only. the great virtue - choice of cast, each of actors remains a nice surprise. a comedy like many others. interesting for the easy manner to identify yourself with Jason Bateman 's character and for Ben Affleck strange character who reminds a not rare type of friend.
LeeRob7 I actually watched this movie by accident thinking it was another movie of a similar name, Extracted. What I found was a quaint, enjoyable movie with very likable characters. Set predominantly in a small factory centered around the owner, Joel (Jason Bateman), who seems to be having a mid-life crisis. The movie follows Joel, his wife, friends and employees on a series of life events that send his world into turmoil teetering on the brink of bankruptcy and separation. Bateman is excellent as the naive, dissatisfied lead with a brilliant supporting cast including Mila Kunis, Kristen Wiig, J.K. Simmons and David Koechner most notably. Everyone in the movie holds their own adding something different to the pleasing blend of subtle comedy and realistic drama, making this a simple yet satisfying movie. Even Ben Affleck manages to entertain, something he has consistently failed to do for me since Pearl Harbour. Not mind-blowing or earth-shattering but quite unique in it's own, heartfelt way. 7/10
