Meanwhile, in an awful, rotting prison in Georgia, a man with face tats and scars across his face and body watches with disinterest as thugs in front of him fight violently. He leaves to visit a cell where his wife and two kids are asleep. Ketevan, the wife implores Vakhtang to allow her and the kids to leave the prison and but he denies it after a round of threats and abuse. Vakhtang is the brother and member of the Nagazi gang. An organized crime syndicate dealing with weapons, drugs, and murders. So when Rake successfully extracts Ketevan and her kids and kills Vakhtang in the process, it's not an easy get-in and get-out.
Vakhtang's brother Zurab is now out for revenge, and he wants it served cold and bloody. What follows is a bloody showdown between both sides.
Chris Hemsworth who is an amazing actor with even better comedic timing spends most of his time grunting and looking intensely far into the distance. But his character is given a chance for redemption and closure from past trauma. His co-stars, Golshifteh Farahani and Adam Bessa as Nik and Yaz are brilliant and so good with their weapons.
Extraction 2 is filled with slick action sequences, casually shooting down helicopters, and trains and destroying hotel rooms. Nowhere from Georgia to Vienna do the law enforcements get to enforce the law. The war between two groups turns beautiful locations into a blood-splattered canvas.
The ending will leave you breathless with anticipation, as Rake is not done with Extraction.
