Netflix’s Extraction 2 has unintentionally become one of its best franchises. The first installment gained massive popularity due to its release during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Director Sam Hargrave and star/producer Chris Hemsworth now have the freedom and resources to take the sequel to new heights. While Extraction 2 lacks depth and a complex plot, it makes up for it with its exhilarating action sequences. The plot mainly serves the purpose of getting Hemsworth’s character from one point to another while explaining his survival. Idris Elba brings charisma to the film, adding some excitement to the storyline. The film follows Rake as he infiltrates a facility to rescue his targets. The action sequences in Extraction 2 are mind-blowing, especially a sequence that involves breaking into a prison, engaging in a brawl, and ending in a car chase. While the film never quite tops this sequence, it maintains a fast pace throughout. The hand-to-hand combat scenes and gunfights resemble the style of John Wick but with a more realistic approach. The villain lacks depth, but the focus remains on watching Hemsworth in action. Although the film tries to explore the character’s motivations, it ends up feeling like filler. Extraction 2 peaks too early, and the third act feels generic compared to earlier moments. The film leaves room for a possible sequel, but hopefully, it avoids the same mistake of peaking too early.
