John wick is all about elegance, seemless gun fu and story line that keeps you coming back for more.
Extraction 2 is is all about action. It's fast, absolute and raw in its treatment of the action set pieces. The whole movie is 3 very long, extended action sequences with signature hargrave camera work. Can't have enough of it. Already watched twice in 2 days.
The movie is so fast paced that you miss out on some or the other aspects, which requires repeats just to understand it fully. Also due to this, there's not much room for too many characters. There are hardly a dozen noteworthy characters in the whole movie, which is good and refreshing specially in an era of ensemble superhero movies and multi movie sagas.

The Russo brothers have masterd the art of hitting if off right from the beginning. The action sequences, lighting angles, use of new and unseen camera work, perfect execution of an age old story formula, you name it and they did it all right.
Inclusion of Dhanush was a good idea to indulge most of us Indians and I am totally glad he didn't turn out to be a second fiddle character like a lot of other Indian actors, who hyped their Hollywood projects but only had a tiny bit to do. And I really suspect the Russo Brothers tweaked the script a bit to suit the status dhanush carries among his Indian fans. This, only the Russo Brothers can confirm though.
Ana De Armas has come a long way from her Knock Knock days. I'm happy she's lived up to her potential and the direction she's headed as an actor.
Chris' antagonist feels a bit out of place in the beginning as we're all almost only used to seeing him as Captain America, but oh boy he's convincing, so much that you eventually start seeing him as Floyd.
All the actors held their end well.
The hero of the movie is the screenplay though. They managed to turn a basic story into something so engaging you can't look away even for a moment or you'll miss something.
The book of the same name the movie is based on, is written by Mark Greaney, I'm now totally interested in reading it.

A simple premise, well executed. Background score is very good. Action sequences are really top notch. Chris Pratt really shines both during action sequences and in emotional scenes. Finished the whole series in 2 sittings. The fact that watch episode is over 1hr long only adds to the experience.
