Netflix’s ‘Extraction 2’ – Chris Hemsworth Returns From the Dead for a New Rescue Mission
Battling back from the brink of death, Tyler Rake must confront his past to take on his most dangerous mission yet in Extraction 2.
The first movie introduces Chris Hemsworth’s Tyler Rake, a black-market mercenary that’s hired to rescue the son of an imprisoned international crime lord from kidnappers. The mission teeters on impossible in the murky underworld of weapon and drug traffickers as the city around them shuts down and the forces against them close in. Somehow he manages to get out and live for another mission. It’s a non-stop action fest with some wild continuous shots and some great stunt performances. You can watch it on Netflix now.

In Extraction 2, Rake is tasked with rescuing the family of a ruthless gangster from inside of a prison. Grab your coat… and some grenades. This trailer kicks off with a chaotic, snow-filled prison riot. It doesn’t get into the story, but it gets the point across. If you love old-school, high-octane action movies this movie is for you.
Netflix also released a behind-the-scenes look at how some of it was shot, as well as the intense planning that goes into making action movies like this. I wish they’d do a theater release with these – big action should have a big screen.
Extraction 2 Cast & Details
Chris Hemsworth reunites with Golshifteh Farahani, who reprises her role as mercenary Nik Khan from the first film. The cast also includes Daniel Bernhardt, Sinead Phelps, Tinatin Dalakishvili, Adam Bessa, and Justin Howell.
Sam Hargrave is back in the director’s chair. You may not recognize his name, but you’re familiar with his work. Hargrave has been a stuntman for over 15 years and was Chris Evans’ stunt double all the way through the Infinity Saga. He was also on the stunt choreography team for Atomic Blonde (if you haven’t seen it, you should). The script is from Joe Russo based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks.
After barely surviving the events of the first movie, Rake is back as the Australian black ops mercenary, tasked with another deadly mission: rescuing the battered family of a ruthless Georgian gangster from the prison where they are being held.
Extraction 2 hits Netflix on June 16th.
