‘Extraction 2′ review: Chris Hemworth’s black-ops mercenary is bolder, bloodier and extractier

A follow-up to the 2020 hyperviolent Chris Hemsworth Netflix action thriller, “Extraction 2″ is a cinematic diversion that asks: Would you like to see a man’s hand split down the middle? Ripped apart in a way that has you thinking: Now there’s a “live long and prosper” salute gone very wrong. Well, pal, have I got a movie for you.

Last we saw Hemsworth’s Tyler Rake, the black ops mercenary with a talent for rescuing — sorry, extracting — people out of bad situations, he was battered and bleeding and plunging from a bridge to a watery grave.

If you forgot any of that in the intervening years, a recap of the final sequence is helpfully recycled in the opening moments of “Extraction 2: The Dentist Will See You Now.” (I kid! Bodies take a beating, but not a pearly white is busted out of place.)
