I liked Extraction which left a thin sliver possibility for a sequel (the protagonist was shot multiple times in the chest then fell off a bridge into a river seemingly unconscious and in heavy clothes). Extraction 2 starts with Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) getting pulled out of the river and resuscitated by medical team from his mercenary company.

A few months later after rehabbing Tyler is retired but a mystery man hires him to rescue his sister-in-law Ketevan (Tinatin Dalakishvili), her teen son Sandro (Andro Japaridze) and her young daughter Nina (Miriam and Marta Kovziashvili) from a Georgian prison where they are being held by their criminal dad Davit (Tornike Bziava).

Tyler brings in his mercenary partner Nik Khan (Golshifteh Farahani), who I think runs the business. Nik and her brother Yaz (Adam Bessa) are much more involved in ops this time around, as well as other unnamed and almost unseen mercenaries in their employ (and boy do they have a lot of resources).

This being an action film there are some great set pieces. The prison break is almost real time following Tyler almost all the time with people jumping in and out of frame. It's not a one-shot scene but it kind of feels like it. Once they have the family out and "safe" there is an attack (Davit's brother Zurab [Tornike Gogrichiani] is the head of a Georgian criminal military organization) on a high rise building in Germany. Then finally Tyler goes it alone against Zurab and his remaining men as they prepare to get away from Germany before the army arrives to arrest them.

I like that Nik gets more action stuff to do and really that there are more mercenaries in the team. Extraction 1 it almost seemed like Tyler was by himself at the target site while his supporting mercs were far away with long range weapons and intelligence support. The action and special effects are good -- better than a mid-level budget theatrical action movie.

Overall a pretty good sequel.
