Extraction 2 was released by Netflix on June 16, 2023, to positive reviews.

Plot[]

After barely surviving his previous mission, Tyler Rake retires from mercenary work to a cabin in Austria after recovering at a hospital in Dubai, where he is approached by a stranger and is asked to rescue his ex-wife Mia's sister Ketevan and her two children Sandro and Nina, who are currently imprisoned along with her gangster husband Davit Radiani at Tkachiri prison in Georgia.

Tyler recruits Nik and Yaz to join him and they infiltrate the prison. They attempt to get Ketevan and her children out without alerting a sleeping Davit, but he wakes up and alerts the other prisoners loyal to him, where they confront Tyler and his team and start a riot, forcing them to fight their way out. During the extraction, Davit attacks Tyler and Ketevan with Tyler viciously killing Davit.

Tyler and Ketevan are swarmed by prisoners and forced to fight their way through the crowd while constantly being attacked. The group manages to escape and return to their safe house in Vienna. However, Ketevan and Davit's teenage son Sandro, who idolizes his father, realizes that Tyler had killed his father and secretly contacts his uncle and Davit's overprotective older brother Zurab, who sets out to track down Tyler in order to find his nephew and exact vengeance.

Zurab and his men track down Tyler and the others to the safe house, trapping them in the building. In the chaos, Sandro leaves the group to find Zurab. Tyler and the group end up taking one of Zurab's helicopters to make their escape, but Yaz is killed by Zurab. Tyler and the group return to his cabin, where he and Ketevan are reunited with Mia.

Tyler apologizes to Mia for leaving on a mission before their son died from cancer. Zurab contacts Tyler, telling him to meet at a nearby airfield where he is holding Sandro hostage. After assaulting the airfield, Tyler finds Zurab and Sandro in a nearby church, with Sandro wearing an explosive vest. Zurab forces Sandro to take Tyler's pistol and take aim at him, but he refuses to shoot Tyler. Nik arrives, which leads to a standoff. Getting Sandro away, the three shoot at each other; Tyler fights and kills Zurab, but Nik is left seriously wounded and falls unconscious as police swarm the church.

In the aftermath, Nik and Tyler are imprisoned and Mia informs Tyler that Ketevan and her children have been moved to protective custody. She tells Tyler that his son actually wanted to be brave like him and she bids farewell. Tyler is transported out of prison to meet with the stranger who offers to recruit him. However, Tyler says that he cannot accept his offer without Nik, only to find that he had already brought Nik on board because he knew that Tyler would want her in the mission.

Production[]

Development[]

In May 2020, it was reported Joe Russo had been hired to write a sequel to the film, with the intention of both Sam Hargrave and Chris Hemsworth returning.[6][7] In December 2020, the Russo Brothers stated that beyond the sequel they hope to develop a series of films set within the world of Extraction to not only explore some of the characters that were introduced in the first film but to potentially launch a cinematic universe. In January 2021, it was rumored that the Russo brothers were also working on an origin story for Randeep Hooda's character Saju.[8]

Filming[]

Filming for the sequel was slated to begin in Sydney, Australia in September 2021, but measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic moved production to Prague.[9] On November 29, 2021, Hargrave announced that principal photography had begun in Prague, Czech Republic,[10] before Hemsworth announced that he began filming his scenes on December 4.[11] Further shooting began in Vienna, Austria on January 28, 2022, and lasted until February 14, 2022. Scenes were shot at Donau City in the vicinity of the DC Towers.[12] Filming officially wrapped on April 6, 2022.[13] The film was shot on the ARRI ALEXA Mini LF cameras by implementing the same long-take strategies from the first film.[14] Reshoots for the film took place in Prague in November 2022.[15]

Release[]

Extraction 2 was released by Netflix on June 16, 2023.[16]

Reception[]

On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 76% of 6.6 critics gave the film a positive review, with an average rating of 92/10. On the website, the critics' consensus reads, "Bigger, bolder, and in some respects even better than its predecessor, Extraction 2 is an over-the-top action thriller done right." Using a weighted average calculator, Metacritic assigned the film a score of 57 out of 100, based on 29 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.

Rating 4 stars out of 5, Helen O'Hara of Empire wrote in favour of the movie "A couple of extended action sequences threaten to get too much, but Hargrave just about pulls it back, and adds a couple of witty touches, once again employing a rake as a deadly weapon and putting in what’s surely a deliberate nod to Thor for a giggle."[17] The Indian Express wrote "Extraction 2's relatively restrained final showdown can’t help but feel a little anticlimactic."[18] Critic Matt Donato of IGN opined "Some of that is lost in the annoyingly shaky camera and a few effects shots are questionable, but thankfully, the important things are done right."[19] Gopinath Rajendran of The Hindu opined "But for everything Extraction 2 lacks, the awesome action set-pieces that are unique to the franchise almost make up for it. Loved the 12-minute single-shot action scene in the first film? The sequel features a 21-minute scene of the same ilk."[20] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian rated the movie 1 star out of 5 and stated "The first Extraction was entertaining enough but this new one is just cynically about extracting the cash."[21]

Sequel[]

In June 2023, at the Netflix Tudum festival for the year, it was announced that Extraction 3 is in development. Stated that the company identifies Extraction as a franchise, the official logo was revealed. Chris Hemsworth will reprise his role as Tyler Rake, with Sam Hargrave once again serving as director.[22][23][24]
