Mixed Reviews for Extraction 2's Action-Packed Sequel

Extraction 2 is an action-packed sequel that follows the ‘80s and ‘90s model of indestructible heroes returning to combat. Chris Hemsworth plays a first-person shooter protagonist, raining bullets from miniguns atop speeding trains and beating up baddies with flaming fists. The movie adheres to video game logic and doubles down on tactical thrill-seeking. While the choreography can be intricate and punishing, the shaky camerawork weakens the delivery of bone-crunching violence. The movie lacks emotional weight and supporting characters exist to develop the lead character. Overall, Extraction 2 is a buffet of brutality that plays back the mercenary thriller hits with a fresh coat of camouflage paint.
