Extraction 2: Pure Action

Movie Review: Extraction 2 (2023) on Netflix👌

Here's a great movie for escaping the summer heat: Extraction 2. It pits Chris Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, an Aussie special forces specialist extraordinaire, against Tornike Gorgrichiani as Zurab Rudiani, an operative of the Georgian military underworld. This film is full of action and extreme stunts and special effects with the intensity of a John Wick flick. (See movie trailer below.)

    Extraction 2 picks up where the original Extraction leaves off. He's put back together and left to recover in a remote site then invited by Idris Elba to do a mission only he can accomplish: Rescue the sister and her family of Rake's estranged wife, who is the wife of Rudiani's brother. Rudiani lives in a maximum security prison in the country of Georgia, under the protection of the Ngazi, a paramilitary group. His family lives with him in this bleak, heavily defended facility.

    To break in, to escape, to getaway and live, it's one long, massive fight and gun battle scene in the prison, on a train trip through desolate mountains, on a helicopter trip to Geneva, in a tall skyscraper in Geneva, and on and on. Guns blazing, grenades popping, bombs exploding, glass shattering, furniture disintegrating, pipes maiming, hatchets chopping, knives stabbing, mayhem chasing--you name it, you'll see it.  And to top it off, the wife's husband (Rudiani's brother) has been killed and her teen son wants revenge, in addition to Rudiani. It's a long, hard-fought battle to the end. Boom! You won't even notice the heat anymore.
