Three questions

Is Extraction scary?
Only a little. Extraction has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.
How gory is Extraction?
Graphic gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.
What is Extraction rated, and is it OK for kids?
It is an R, with brutal violence, some strong language and graphic gore. Keep it for adults.

What is Extraction about?

A hardened gun-for-hire's latest mission becomes a soul-searching race to survive when he's sent into Bangladesh to rescue a drug lord's kidnapped son.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
