In Extract, Mila Kunis plays one of those girls who just has men wrapped around her finger. Cindy is a con artist who shoplifts, resells her stolen merchandise, tempts men to cheat and gets her hooks into settlement money from an industrial accident. Yet somehow you’ve got to love her.

Mila Kunis Talks Making Extract
“You really, I think, just hope that it makes sense in the end,” Kunis said. “It’s one of those things where you have to play her very realistic and not judge her by her actions but just kind of accept them for what they are. Yu hope that that kind of translates on screen, because if you start judging her for what she’s doing and being like, ‘Oh, I can’t believe she’s stealing a guitar,’ it’s going to come across as a little negative. But, if you just kind of go, ‘Well, girl’s gotta do what she’s gotta do,’ it kind of comes across a little naïve in a sense so it’s a little more accepting.

Some of the scams gave Kunis free reign to just ham up the con job. “I think the pawn shop, trading it in because that one went through so many different takes and that was improvised so much that it was just fun to just have my dying dad’s guitar. It was absurd considering what came before which was just jacking a guitar, to my father just died, he loved it so much.”
