Occasionally, the dizzying filmmaking style, a mix of practical stunt work and invisible VFX, feels like a video-game cutscene. More often, it just sucks the air from your lungs.

With its bigger, broader swath of carnage, Extraction 2 improves upon the original and isn’t unpleasant (you know, unless you’re bothered by watching hundreds of deaths on screen).

A nutty movie that's just like the first. If you love the way that first movie was constructed, then it's a knockdown bang fest.

For all its impressive stunt work and sequencing, Extraction 2 is just trying to meet the quota for a standard action movie. It doesn’t hurt to want a little more than another fight.
