Extraction
Extraction , the feature film directorial debut from Sam Hargrave , features a slimly ambiguous end for its hero , Tyler Rake ( Chris Hemsworth ) . Released on Netflix , the action thriller follow Tyler on a freelance military mission to rescue Ovi Mahajan ( Rudhraksh Jaiswal ) , the teen son of a crowd leader , who has been captured by a rival drug lord . Still haunted by the loss of his own son , Tyler puts his life on the melody to get Ovi home safe and apparently being killed in his charge only for the movie ’s final dead reckoning to suggest at his survival .
ThesequelExtraction 2confirms that Tyler last , something that is left unreadable in the original flick . Tyler squad up with Saju ( Randeep Hooda ) in a last - ditch effort to help Ovi escape Dhaka by crossing one of the bridge out of the city . Saju is killed , and just as Ovi reaches refuge , Tyler receives an apparently fatal heater wound to the neck opening . Tyler falls off the bridge and plummets into the water system , disappearing below the surface . Given the extent of his injuries , it seems insufferable that he could have survived - but given that Tyler spent the whole movie beating out of the question betting odds , perhaps it ’s not surprising he live to fight again .
Nik Protects Ovi From Further Kidnappings
Midway throughExtraction , Tyler and Ovi are take into the suppose aegis ofGaspar ( David Harbour ) , an old friend and fellow mercenary whose life was once bring through by Tyler , and who therefore owes him a braggy favor . After Ovi has lead to seam , Gaspar bluntly states that the kid is a " walking stiff , " since even if Tyler somehow succeeds in pay off him home he ’s still a target for one of the most muscular drug lords in Bangladesh , and his father ( who is in prison house ) does n’t have the resource to protect him . This created an obvious job forExtraction ’s ending to conclude after Tyler come through in getting Ovi out of Dhaka .
Since Tyler is otherwise indisposed , it ’s Tyler ’s colleague Nik Khan ( Golshifteh Farahani ) who ends up taking care of the problem . She confronts Asif in the men ’s room at a eatery after the dust has settled and fleetly executes him , extinguishing his grudge against Ovi ’s father along with his life . The money for protect Ovi lam dry at the start of the mission , so like the assault on the bridge , this is more pro bono work on Nik ’s part . InExtraction 2 , it is clear Nik knows Tyler is alive so taking out Asif could have been done at his request or simply as revenge for nearly kill Tyler .
Is Tyler Still Alive At The End Of Extraction?
Extraction ’s epilogue takes plaza eight months after Tyler ’s apparent last , with Asif ’s carrying into action cross - cut with a scene of Ovi at a swim pocket billiards . He jumps into the water system and lets himself sink to the bottom of the pool for a few moments before reemerging . When he does , there ’s an out - of - focus fig in the background watching him who looks an awed good deal like Tyler , and the motion picture ends with Ovi turning to look at the figure . The obvious implication is that Tyler survived his multiple gunfire wounding ( and other motley injuries ) , using his diving into the water supply to escape the final battle after seeing Ovi to safety .
The sequel intimate Nik found Tyler and help save him . Before the check from the sequel , Extraction ’s equivocal endingstrongly imply Tyler survived but it could have also been explained in other ways . Rather than it just being a random individual stand there learn Ovi , it could be interpreted as something Ovi is imagining himself . He could see Tyler as a defender watching over him from the hereafter . However , with the verification that Tyler survived , it fetch into question what is in reality meant by this specific termination .
The Real Meaning Of Extraction’s Ending
Even though he does n’t die , Tyler ’s " death " scene inExtractionhas meaning as does the concluding shot . Ovi ’s final tantrum inExtractionmirrors Tyler ’s first panorama , when he jumps off a drop into a deep lagoon and lets himself sink to the bottom before resurfacing . Throughout the pic water stand for two key concepts : courage and death . Having lost his wife and son , Tyler at the start of the moving-picture show has lost all his fear of destruction and is even ( as Nik suggests ) actively seeking it out . For Tyler , water is associate with his memories of his Logos at the beach , and his jump into the water at the beginning is a flirting with death .
Throughout the movie his memories of his son are out of focal point , and only become clear just before he falls into the river at the ending of the picture show ( by nature leading the audience to believe that he ’s joined his boy in demise ) . In contrast to Tyler leaping fearlessly into water , Ovi at the start ofExtractionlacks the courage even to go over and babble to a girlfriend who is smiling at him . Over the class of the movie , Tyler discovers a new cause to experience in saving Ovi ’s life ( something that he could n’t do with his own Logos ) , while Ovi ’s recur brushes with death strip aside his fears .
Ovi ’s jump into the piss from the in high spirits dive , his moment of secrecy underneath the water , and his eventual resurfacing are all emblematic of the courage he ’s gained . With both Tyler and Ovi diving into the water in the ending , it serve as a Renascence in a way as they both emerge as different people . For Ovi , he is discover courage and speciality in himself . For Tyler , as imply in thetrailer forExtraction 2 , he has found use to continue on .
