Extraction 2

Occasionally, the dizzying filmmaking style, a mix of practical stunt work and invisible VFX, feels like a video-game cutscene. More often, it just sucks the air from your lungs.

With its bigger, broader swath of carnage, Extraction 2 improves upon the original and isn’t unpleasant (you know, unless you’re bothered by watching hundreds of deaths on screen).

A nutty movie that's just like the first. If you love the way that first movie was constructed, then it's a knockdown bang fest.

What counts in an action film is the action, and former stuntman-turned-director Sam Hargrave more than delivers on that promise.

It’s better than having a tooth pulled. But not by much.

The rare action sequel that works just as well as the original.

The movie delivers and is one of the year’s best and most inventive action pictures...

Pumped up with a lot of action and definitely bolder that the first sequel, but somewhere it failed when it came to storytelling.

Extraction 2 is a rousing action movie with some much-needed gravitas for Rake. The stakes are higher and Hargrave delivers a solidly entertaining movie with all the exploding helicopters and hand to hand fight scenes that the audience requires.

While the first film is a solid but unevenly paced action hit, the follow up is a slicker, highly exhilarating ride that sees returning director Sam Hargrave and his team ramp up everything that worked so well the first time around.
