1st one was really good, I can see this becoming a franchise, if the 2nd one is also a hit.

Dare I say it, maybe the biggest movie success for Netflix to date? The only other movie that was made by Netflix to even get a sequel, off the top of my head, is Murder Mystery.

I don't even know how Netflix is affording such expensive content (I'm sure Thor and the Russo's don't come cheap!).

slightly OT: There seems to be a lot of Russo Brothers stuff recently. Do they have the midas touch, when it comes to streaming? (Extraction 1 & 2, The Gray Man, Citadel), or do they just get unlimited money now due to the success of the Avengers movies?

Extraction was much better than the grey man IMO

The Russo's somehow spent $200 million making that.

They only produced extraction 1 and 2. Not sure how hands on they were.

Edit - apparently Joe Russo wrote both movies but the first one wasn't exactly complex scriptwriting. Great action/direction though.

The Babysitter is the other one that springs to mind.

Quite enjoyed the 1st one. IIRC it was actually quite well setup for a sequel, not sure about a trilogy though.

Never even heard of it, cast looks OK, albeit it's not really my type of genre. Will check it out.

I think they would, but they'd have to replace Hemsworth as he's taking an indefinite break from acting isn't he?

You're right, i forgot about that! Hard to say if he will stick to that or be lured back by money (although he doesn't need anymore I guess).

Wants to spend time with his kids in case he gets some form of hereditary dementia.

Sounds very promising

Chris Hemsworth returns as Tyler Rake in EXTRACTION 2, the sequel to Netflix's blockbuster action film EXTRACTION. 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...

Thoroughly enjoyed that - as the above RT link says, a thoroughly over the top action movie done right.

Nice, good brain off action, first had some excellent set pieces, albeit a generic af story.

Really enjoyed it.

The cinematography and fight/gun/action choreography are just superb.

Shame it didn't get a cinema release.

8/10

Great action throughout the film. The only issue is it suffers from the 'Commando' effect where you've got 1000 bad guys firing but the main guys got GOD mode activated.

Maybe they just not very good with a gun?

Thought the first film was excellent, this is no were near as good - movies seem to be making most people bulletproof at the moment.
