Description: After barely
surviving his grievous wounds from his mission in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Ryler Rake
(Chris Hemsworth) is back, and his team is ready to take on their next mission.
Review: In this second installment on the “Extraction” series, Chris Hemsworth
returns as mercenary Tyler Rake, who barely survived his last mission. Now recovered,
Tyler and his team are ready for a new mission. “Extraction” was a good film
film, but nothing extremely groundbreaking or memorable. “Extraction 2” still
doesn’t feel like that, but it surely is a step up from this first film.
Tyler has to safe his
ex-wife’s sister from her criminal husband, who has been living in a prison
with their two children. What seems like a simple mission, ends up in a blood
bath.
“Extraction 2” is full of
genre clichés, but it by no means disappoints in the cinematographic
department. The fight scenes are all very well-choreographed and especially
that outbreak scene in the prison is shot masterfully. They edited in a way it
looks like one continues shot and I always love it when that’s done well.
“Extraction 2” is nowhere
innovative, Chris Hemsworth does his job very well and so does director Sam
Hargrave. And the film keeps you on the edge of your seat at all times. With
its raw character, this second installment offers a rebuttal to the streamlined
action of recent blockbusters. Despite a contrived plot, it’s a shame that this
movie can’t been seen on the big screen. Because the action scenes look
amazing.
Better then the first, great
visuals, but very predictable.
Rating: 3,5/ 5
