Extraction 2 movie review: The tough-as-nails, macho character reunites the Thor actor with director Sam Hargrave and screenwriter Joe Russo but there’s not much creativity here to distinguish this Extraction from the first

Extraction 2 still
Tyler Rake(Chris Hemsworth) returns for Netflix’s second attempt at ‘cashing in on diversity programming’ in this unremarkable sequel to a rather ordinary and bland original. This film goes over the top without much ado. Tasked with extracting a family who is at the mercy of a Georgian gangster, Tyler Rake infiltrates one of the world`s deadliest prisons and gets the extraction done by killing the gangster in question. Then it’s the turn of the Gangster’s even more ruthless brother (Tornike Gogrichiani) to keep the vengeance burning hot…
This ‘Extraction’ series is based on Andre Park`s graphic novel ‘Ciudad’ and the original adaptation was one of Netflix’s most-watched movies ever. So it’s a given that Netflix would try to cash in on that phenomenal interest. The tough-as-nails, macho character reunites the Thor actor with director Sam Hargrave and screenwriter Joe Russo but there’s not much creativity here to distinguish this Extraction from the first.
