If you loved Chris Hemsworth in Extraction 2, you’ll likely get a kick out of these epic action movies.
There’s been a lot of hype around Extraction 2, the sequel to the hit Chris Hemsworth film, but if we’re honest it’s a mildly entertaining Netflix action movie that peaks way too soon.
While the action stuff is great – its pulsating 21-minute one-shot sequence will blow your mind – we felt it peaked a little too early and the plot could have been a lot better, especially given that it took four grueling months to film.
So, if you’ve watched it and need some recommendations to scratch that action-movie itch, or if you haven’t and just want some really fun things to watch on Netflix this weekend, here are some of our favorites.1. Luther: The Fallen Sun
This is a big cheeseburger of a movie: it’s probably bad for you but it’s a lot of fun to consume. Idris Elba is his usual magnetic self as detective John Luther, a good cop who sometimes does bad things; Andy Serkis chews the scenery as Andy Serkis so loves to do; and while it’s best not to think about the pretty major plot holes the set-pieces here are stunning. 2. 6 Underground
Ryan Reynolds! Michael Bay! You’re sold already! Let’s not look at the Rotten Tomatoes rating – it’s not good – and focus on the fact that if you like films like this, this is the kind of film you’ll like.
