Movie Review: Extraction 2
Since the first Extraction was released some years back with that cliffhanger ending fans have been looking forward to a continuation. And a continuation we got this year.
The Russos and Sam came together for this second installment and it was action-packed.
Quick Plot
Following the incident at Mumbai and the fall from the bridge Jake manages to pull out of a coma albeit injured. He takes up retirement until a new case is dropped at his feet. In need of some redemption for a past sin, he trains his body back to shape and embarks on this dangerous mission.
My Thoughts
I need a whole day to rant about Sandro because that child is the most annoying child I’ve ever encountered in a movie. First of all, what type of child is he? How does he not see that living in a prison despite being a free person is not a way of showing love and that his father is a beast? How can you watch him beat your mum several times over the years and still not know that things are not as they’re supposed to be? I was pissed watching him act like a childish idiot. If his stupidity had not even caused the death of anyone then I would have ignored it, but the fact Yas died because of him just makes it more painful.
A friend insists that he will be emotionally scarred for life, but I wish Nik had at least shot him a little. Just a little. He was so irresponsible. Jeez!😡
Idris Elba
The moment I saw him I just knew this movie would be expanded into a franchise. I can already see part 3 with Elba taking a more prominent role.
I like the action-packed pace of the movie with the shooting and fighting. The idea of including his ex-wife in the mix and also giving us a glimpse into his former life was a good idea. That’s it, though. There weren’t really any major plot or surprising scenes in the movie and one could also see that Yas would be killed off. I enjoyed it overall. Some scenes need a double take to figure out how they played out but it’s all good.
What were your best parts of the movie?
