Warning: The following contains Spoilers for Extraction 2!A frustrating Extraction 2 plot hole could have seen the Netflix sequel end at least 30 minutes sooner. While Extraction 2 has received critiques for its thin storyline, reviews have been overall positive for the Sam Hargrave-directed sequel. Extraction 2 sees Chris Hemsworth's mercenary Tyler Rake - who narrowly survived death in the original Extraction - pulled out of retirement to rescue his former sister-in-law Ketevan (Tinatin Dalakishvili) and her children from a Georgian prison.
A major issue with that is her marriage to Davit (Tornike Bziava), co-founder of a paramilitary crime outfit called the Nagazi. After Rake kills Davit during the extraction, Davit's vicious brother Zurab (Tornike Gogrichiani) sends the full force of the Nagazi after them. Family is a core theme in Extraction 2, with Zurab seeking revenge while Rake is looking for redemption for the guilt he feels for leaving his dying son.

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Extraction 2.Extraction 2 includes multiple fantastic action sequences, but how do they rank against one another? Extraction 2 is the sequel to 2020's Extraction, starring Chris Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, a former Sas soldier turned black-ops mercenary. Sam Hargrave returns to direct the film with a script from Joe Russo, managing to improve on the first film in all aspects, from action and stunt work to character development and emotional impact.
Firstly, it is worth noting that every action sequence in Extraction 2 is impeccably crafted. Hargrave's former work as a stunt coordinator shines in the film, as does his team's commitment to complex, incredibly shot action sequences that offer an incredible showcase for what is possible in action cinema. By the time Extraction 2's ending scene rolls around, the film more than provides the audience with a slew of unbelievable action scenes. With that being said,...

Warning: Major Spoilers For Extraction 2 Below!Extraction 2's main villains are a Georgian crime syndicate dubbed the Nagazi, but does this group have any basis in reality? Just like the original movie, Extraction 2 features a minimum of plot and a maximum of action. The sequel gives Chris Hemsworth's Tyler Rake some time to recover from the near-fatal injuries he acquired in Extraction's ending, but from the moment he picks up an assault rifle and heads off on his latest rescue mission, it rarely pauses for breath.
Extraction 2 finds Rake breaking his former sister-in-law Ketevan (Tinatin Dalakishvili) and her children out of a Georgian prison. The issue is she's married to Davit Radiani (Tornike Bziava), who is a founding member of the Nagazi, a Georgian paramilitary and crime outfit that inspires cult-like devotion from its members. When Rake kills Davit during the prison extraction, his brother Zarab...

Extraction star Chris Hemsworth has indicated that his time as an action mainstay may be coming to an end.
Per Entertainment Weekly, the Marvel Cinematic Universe actor detailed how recent life developments, such as his children, have shaped how he sees his future roles. "I've done so much gritty action and fantastical aesthetic. It'd be nice to be a little… what's the word, cleaner? Not be covered in blood and dust and dirt and being shot at. I'm sick of being beaten up." However, he balanced this with, "But watch, I'll get sent a bunch of things that completely contradict what I've just said, and that's where I'll head. It's in the hands of the gods."

Early in the Netflix action flick Extraction 2, handler Nik Khan (Golshifteh Farahani) looks upon the battered body of mercenary Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) and observes, “You fought your way back.” That might sound like a bit of empty exposition, but those who saw the first Extraction know how remarkable Rake’s achievement actually is. Adapted from the Ande Parks comic Cuidad, 2020’s Extraction ended with Rake plummeting into the Ganges after being stabbed and shot. A lot.
But as clear as Nik’s first comment may be, her follow-up is much more baffling. “You just have to find out why,” she continues, the camera holding on her face to make sure everyone understands just how concerned she is.
In its weakest moments, Extraction 2 spends too much time dwelling on the hero’s existential crisis. The first 20 minutes of the movie follow mercenary Rake as he recovers from his...

A funny thing happened during our worldwide lockdown in 2020. With theaters shuttered, our immediate movie-going futures looking bleak and escapist entertainment becoming a therapeutic necessity, along came the rise of The Streaming Service Blockbuster — most notably “Extraction.” Stuntman-turned-director Sam Hargrave’s muscular albeit convoluted actioner, centered on a mercenary sent to rescue the kidnapped son of a crime lord, was handed a captive audience. All the folks at home made it a worldwide sensation for Netflix, and it continues to tear up the charts as their seventh most popular film ever.
Three years later and armed with a far better, bloody and bruising quest for the laconic hero, Hargrave, star Chris Hemsworth and screenwriter Joe Russo return to the burgeoning franchise with “Extraction 2”. The filmmakers’ renewed vigor is our reward as, similar to its unfussy title, this sequel deals in clean-lined action and suspense, removing much of the excessive...

When we last left “Extraction” hero Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) he was, well, he was dead. He’d been beaten, shot multiple times, and tossed into a river, where he was presumably (again) dead. And yet…in the final moments of the Sam Hargrave-directed feature, a shadowy figure emerged, looking a bit like Tyler, albeit very much not dead, to watch over his young charge so many months after his apparent death. But, in the world of blockbuster filmmaking, no one is ever really dead, least of all an ass-kicking Aussie mercenary with a secret soft side, and thus: “Extraction 2.”
That Tyler is indeed not dead has served as the backbone of the Netflix action sequel’s marketing campaign, complete with the kicky hashtag #TylerRakeLives and its accompanying “punching arm on fire” emoji (which is basically this franchise in a nutshell). So it should come as little surprise that...

★★★☆☆ Premièring in the Panorama section of this year's 63rd Berlin Film Festival, A Fold in My Blanket (Chemi sabnis naketsi, 2013) is the debut feature from Georgian filmmaker and former Berlin resident Zaza Rusadze. Ignoring the usual gritty and harsh approach to social commentary, Rusadze's examination of the social constraints of a small Georgian community is an incredibly atmospheric and patently dark black comedy with a surrealist twist. Set in a quiet town in which "everyone has Russian names now", local protagonist Dimitrij (Tornike Bziava) feels sorely out of place from the very outset.
