Just seen Extraction 2.
The action sequences are sick. Not John Wick level but they hold their own. It has copious amounts of plot armor and plot holes but this is a brains-off just enjoy action movie. It knows that and does a very good job being entertaining. This movie has some of the best editing and camera work I've seen. I'd argue its at least as good as the 1st one if not better.
The plot is paper thin. But let's be honest, it's not why you watch this.
I was OK with the setting. Yes I had a rollseye moment cause HW apparently loves Georgian to be villains and very cartoony over the top ones, like in Golden Eye and Red Heat. But in this one they felt more believable and that's because they hired actual Georgian actors and overall the acting was very solid. However, the subs were weird. Partialy completely off or missing. Really you show that much excessive violence and gore, but censor and don't properly translate what ppl say ? The dialogue doesn't really add that much, but it has more weight when you understand both langs.
All in all another good action flick that I do recommend.
