I mean, #ChrisHemsworth did try drama with Spiderheard, but it was just so atrocious, I'm almost glad he's back to mindlessly killing people?#Extraction2 - https://t.co/z6kmnjSzDL#Extraction2Netflix #Extraction2Review

"'Extraction 2' neither has the emotional weight, nor the lightness, nor the contextual power to separate itself from any other action film." https://t.co/utunkgHJov

#Extraction2 review: #ChrisHemsworth's sequel tries to give us a far more gripping story than the first part and amp up the action that had become a gold standard, but it leaves us wishing we could say the same about the storytelling#Extraction2Reviewhttps://t.co/lLwTOno9DN
