Genre: Action

 

 

 

This year’s menu is full of action. The high-voltage movies in 2023 include Fast X, John Wick Chapter 4, and Mission impossible sequence my all-time favorite. Extraction 2 improves upon its predecessor by bringing a sequel to the action film that is greater in every way possible.

 

 

I had not planned to watch Extraction 2. It was mere luck that it was possible for me to fit the film into my schedule. Unluckily, this was very difficult to find the time to jot my review down prior to the Netflix release.

That’s festival life for you! Like every event, I observe myself on the edge of my seat during the whole period of the two-hour film. I’ll talk about my experience of watching the movie, but my opinion is very different from watching the original in 2020.

 

 

Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) narrowly got out of the first movie alive. And yet, he’s at it again in the movie’s sequel. Certainly, he had some time to heal and get his body back in shape before going out on the mission again. This time around, he has to retrieve a Georgian gangster’s family from the prison where said gangster is having them. I would go more deep into the why of it but this is a movie where should know very little. Indeed, one of the spoilers made its way to the public prior to my experience of watching the movie. It would have been a huge surprise had I not known THAT was coming. People ought to prevent spoiling everything before a movie’s general release! But I digress.

Tyler Rake was not intended to survive. Everything was altered through test screenings, and a franchise was afterward started. On a 32-inch TV in late April 2020, I watched the first movie. For me, getting to view this one on a large screen has made a significant difference. Whatever you may think about Netflix movies, an action movie like Extraction 2 is a large-screen production. Additionally, I had awful attention when I saw the first movie a little over a month into the pandemic. Screen size and focus both have a significant impact! Anyway, what I enjoy about the sequel is that we discover more about Tyler Rake's character and his personal life.

 

 

People would disagree that bigger and better does not make a difference but it certainly does for the sequel. Sam Hargrave is a genuine moviemaker this time around. Like with David Leitch, Hargrave shows that stunt choreographers can make for sold moviemakers behind the camera. The shaky cam feels like a video game that is quite exciting

But if you talk about stunts, they are better than any movie and make you feel as if you are experiencing reality.

It is not good for you if I spoil the stunt scene, but I assure you the camera angle for filming the fight scenes will enthrall you throughout the movie.
