8. Extraction (2020)

This action movie was made for the big screen. The fight choreography was some of the most impressive in recent years, including a 12-minute one-take sequence that felt like it belonged in a high-budget theatrical release. The urban landscapes, rooftop chases, and river shootouts had a scale that was lost on smaller screens. The heavy use of handheld camerawork and kinetic action felt immersive, but a theater’s larger display and sound system would have made the experience even more intense.
