PLOT Tyler Rake (Hemsworth) was clinically dead after his last mission, but he got better. While recuperating, he learns that his ex-sister-in-law Ketevan (Dalakishvili) and her two kids need his help. Cue a heavily armoured dash for safety, with Ketevan’s dangerous brother-in-law on their tail.
WHEN EXTRACTION HIT streaming in April 2020, it came as a welcome action distraction in a pandemic landscape bereft of blockbusters. This sequel arrives to a far more crowded field, but if anything it’s more eye-catching and considerably bigger in scale. Director Sam Hargrave and star Chris Hemsworth have clearly pushed themselves and one another to go harder, higher and bloodier than ever.
