The Journey of Tyler Rake So Far
The first Extraction film came out in 2020 and introduced audiences to Tyler Rake, a skilled mercenary sent on a dangerous mission to rescue the son of a powerful crime lord in Bangladesh. Directed by Sam Hargrave, who was formerly a stunt double for Captain America, the movie gained praise for its intense action sequences and gripping storyline.
Extraction 2 followed in 2023 which raised the stakes with bigger and more complex fight scenes. One of the highlights was a long, single-take fight in a Russian prison courtyard.
