VIEWERS are divided and even confused over the ending of the hotly anticipated Netflix film, Extraction.
Starring Aussie actor Chris Hemsworth, the film tells the story of Tyler Rake who is sent to Bangladesh to rescue the kidnapped son of a drug lord Ovi (Rudraksh Jaiswal).
It debuted on Netflix on Friday and quickly landed in the top ten of what people were watching in the UK.
People were drawn to the gritty story and gripping action sequences but were left scratching their heads at the ending.
Under intense fire, Tyler manages to get Ovi to the extraction point with whom he has grown fond of, but gets shot at the last minute.
Ovi and viewers watch as Tyler plummets to his apparent death from a tall bridge into a wide river below.
But cut to eight months later as Ovi is getting on with his life and we see him at a local swimming pool.
The final seconds show a mysterious figure – who could very well be Tyler – watching Ovi but the film ends before it’s clear who the person is.
Director Sam Hargrave told Digital Spy they left that scene in after testing it with audiences, but would not give any clues if the mysterious person is Tyler or not.
He said: “There was a discussion back and forth throughout the whole production process as to what the ending of the movie wanted to be, and we shot a number of different ways.”
“Through the test audiences and amongst us, the filmmakers, we decided on that ending as being the best, because different people viewed the film in different ways. They have different reactions. And test audiences were kind of split down the middle.
“We actually tried to be respectful of that and to serve that.”
Sam added: “Depending on how you view the film, I think the ending will play differently for different people, depending on your feelings for these characters throughout the film.”
Viewers, were in fact, split on whether they enjoyed Extraction’s ending and shared their thoughts on Twitter.
