O RESGATE 2 (EXTRACTION 2, USA, 2023) - Directed by Sam Hargrave, Extraction 2 once again stars Chris Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, the fearless and skilled mercenary ready to take on other high-stakes and deadly mission. While the action sequences are undeniably thrilling, showcasing Hemsworth's physical prowess and commitment to performing his own stunts, the film often feels flat and emotionally distant when the bullets stop flying, especially when we have to turn on the suspension of disbelief. The acting is solid, albeit nothing special. The effects are okay for the budget, and the action is more than passable. The sound design, sets, and the rest are as good as one can expect from a Netflix movie. Directing is pretty good, probably what mainly saves this, together with solid acting, from being too trashy.
