If loved the first part of the franchise, then you might be curious about the second part. If you want to get a review of the second part then you are at the right place. In this article, you will give a review of Extraction 2 movie and whether is it worth watching this movie.
Review of Extraction 2
The movie run time 2 hours or something but throughout the movie, you get to see a full-pack action. The movie is fast-paced, and you will see the movie is mostly action. The movie is filled with 110 minutes of action out of 150 minutes.
The movie also has a nonstop 20-minute action scene. This scene in the movie has no cut in it. So, if you love action you will only have praise for this scene.
Most of the movie is filled with action scenes and in the remaining time you get to know the story of the movie.
22 minutes in the movie and you will start seeing the action scenes.
The first action scene takes place during a prison break where Tyler is involved in a fight with the soldiers.
In the next scene, the movie takes up the pace and the level of action also starts elevating slowly. After breaking prison the fight continues as they drive in a car.
And still continues on the train. The action scene peaked when the fight takes place in helicopters. This is the one big fight scene that ends around 47 minutes into the movie.
The movie keeps you on the edge of your seat as Tyler faces danger and tries to save the kidnapped boy. Will he succeed? You have to watch Extraction 2 to find out!
The work of the camera is good in this movie, you can say it is better than the last part. The CGI and VFX are also flawless. Everything is better in comparison to the last part in some way. But what about the story?
Story of the movie
So, the story is not the strongest part of this movie. The story is about 20 to 30% of the movie. Most of the movie has action and fights.
But I can share a blueprint of the movie with you. The movie starts from where the first movie ends.
In the last part Tyler, who is also the main character is nearly dead. But in this part, you will see that he was saved by his friends and now he is offered a new task or mission.
After his friends saved him from Bangladesh he is now transferred to hospital for 9 months. After Tyler’s recovery, a new chapter of his life begins and he is retired but destiny has some other plans with him.
Suddenly, Tyler was reached by a man who wanted his ex-wife’s sister and children to get out of jail. But it was not that easy and he wants Tyler’s help for it.
And as usual, Tyler is ready to help him. He started training and prepared his team for the task. He went to escape them from prison and it is when you will see one of the best action scenes in the movie.
After the fight, all of them are in a safe house but because of Taylor’s behavior,Zurab Radiani wants to take revenge on Tyler and his sister-in-law. Zurab is the most powerful person in that area and now it becomes Tyler’s responsibility to save him and his sister-in-law from Zurab.
The mission is more personal than professional. You will get to see most of the story in the starting and after that, the movie is all about action.
The 21-minute fight scene in the movie looks visually uncut but it is not in reality. However, the scene is made flawless and you will not see any cuts even if you want to see it closely.
Overall, you will not be amazed by the story of the movie as you already are familiar with the plot and theme of the old part. However, the movie is different and does not in any way ruin the reputation it acclaimed from the first part.
Instead of focusing on growing the image or stardom of the movie, makers seem more focused on growing the character of Taylor in this movie.
The scene where Taylor saved his ex-wife and her children justifies this more. You will see that Tyler wants his covey this as a message to his ex-wife about how much he cared for his son and her.
Should you watch it?
Overall, this movie is worth to watch it if you like action movies. The story is good but not the best. The movie is a one-time watch. Though the movie’s story is based on personal events related to Tyler, still you will not see that the movie is folding as an emotional movie.
You will see more action in the movie than emotional scenes. You can pick out the mistakes in the movie but it is hard to not enjoy the movie.
I want to applaud the camera crew, and VFX team for uplifting the standard of the movie with their skill and dedication.
