Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

My Extraction 2 spoilerish-free review.

If you're going into this without suspending reality a bit you're kind of dumb. Let's be honest here. That said, the gunplay and fights are awesome with differing locales and stakes keeping it kind of fresh. The guns and accoutrements are top notch, just a lot of gun porn in there for you. I think Chili Palmer (retired CAG guy) was an advisor and extra for the movie. The "special guest" who bookends the movie HAS to return in part 3, hopefully with a larger role because that would be bitchin'. I liked the bad guys and the change of countries/ venues over the standard movie bad guy.

The main complaint I have is Nik kept her clothes on, not even a bathing suit. What happened to gratuitous nudity? Pussification of America...

Anyway, solid popcorn theater, entertaining, if you liked the first one you'll like the second.

Hard agree with the special guest at the beginning and end. And I loved the line when Rake asked his name, paraphrasing: 'it doesn't matter what my name is.... what matters is I work for one gnarly motherfucker.'

Also kudos for the producer for finding local talent, a lot of those Georgians were actually Georgians and small bit actors and unknown in the US.

It's a variation of John Wick-style storytelling. You definitely have to suspend belief. But that doesn't make it any less entertaining.

The Trailer is great but doesn't even begin to tell the story. The Machine is one of the Funniest movies I've seen in a long time. You have to go into this thinking Russia is 25 years behind America. The flash back songs are from the 90's and it does a really good job of painting the difference in cultures. It also made me realize most of you funnier people on the site could easily be "the MAWSHEENA"!! It's really a tale of every man's dream; to please his dad, make his wife happy, be a great father.....all while still staying wild on the inside!

Yeah, me too. Star Wars for grown-ups. You know with six Dune novels there’s enough material for about 8 feature length films. I hope they continue to make them.

BTW, Christopher Walken has been cast as the Emperor.

Just one highly-subjective opinion, but... the quality of the series dropped off pretty quickly.

Waiting to see this. Funny, US politicians, celebrities and billionaires are probably nervous.

Saw this in the theater today. It was a very good film with a powerful message -- that's the purpose of this film.

It's definitely a different kind of movie formula. There's certainly a faith-based tone at a couple points, which some may hold against the film - I certainly don't.

As eluded to in the quote above, I read a bit more about the story after seeing the movie and I'm sure some will criticize it simply because of some right-wing connections to the film (which aren't apparent during the film). But the points made by the film are legit and relevant.

I recommend it...and would go see it in the theater because I find the message worthy.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
