The new Netflix movie Extraction, which stars Thor actor Chris Hemsworth, is lighting up charts and setting records at the streaming platform. The action-heavy film ends in dramatic fashion, and the director has now revealed that his original script was even heavier. It wasn't until testing the movie and a conversation with an executive at Netflix that director Sam Hargrave was convinced to change the ending. Read on to get the full story, but of course, be aware that this includes heavy spoilers.

SPOILERS FOR EXTRACTION FOLLOW BELOW

In the ending of Extraction that made the cut, Hemsworth's character, Tyler Rake, is shot by the teenage boy who is trying to make a name for himself with a local drug kingpin. Rake, breathing his last breaths, tips himself over the edge of bridge and collapses into the river below. It's assumed that Rake died as part of his journey to save and rescue a young boy named Ovi.

However, it's never explicitly confirmed that Rake succumbed to his injuries. And in the movie's final frame, a character who bears a strong resemblance to Rake is seen, albeit in a fuzzy shot. Director Sam Hargrave, who made his directorial debut with Extraction, said the original ending was much more clear.
