‘Holy Electricity’ Producer Nushi Film Follows Locarno Premiere With Ambitious Slate Announcement (Exclusive)
Image
Georgian producer Tekla Machavariani, in Locarno this week for the world premiere of director Tato Kotetishvili’s “Holy Electricity,” which plays in the Swiss fest’s Filmmakers of the Present section, has unveiled a slate of new features at her Tbilisi-based production company Nushi Film.

Among them is the first Georgian-Japanese co-production, a film inspired by the brutal Georgian Civil War of the early-1990s, and a movie set among the hip-hop generation of the 2000s in the crime-filled streets of Tbilisi.

“When I founded the company, my main goal was to work with my friends who were inspiring me. They taught me cinema,” said Machavariani, who launched Nushi Film in 2015. “For me, the most important thing is to make Georgian films with directors with whom I grow. We start with short films and then, slowly, we go through the journey together.”

“The Dog is Barking” is the ambitious feature...

5 Best New Netflix Original Movies Released in 2023
Image
Pictures: Netflix

What a year it has been for the biggest streamer in the world.

While the first half of the year was largely known for its widely seen star-studded critical failures, the second half of the year brought many successes. From a hit franchise blockbuster to multiple awards season contenders, Netflix’s year in films was turned around completely and may help them garner some hardware as we march towards the Oscars in March.

While this list may not represent the most-watched films of the year, I believe these to be the best Netflix had to offer over the past 12 months.

So, without further ado, here are my Top 5 Netflix Original Movies of 2023.

Please note that this author has not seen Best International Feature contender, Society of the Snow, as it will not be on Netflix until 1/4/24. This list will also not consider the Wes Anderson/Roald Dahl short...

An Extraction 2 Hidden Music Detail That Made The Villain Even Better Revealed
Image
Extraction 2 is the rare sequel that is, by many accounts, better than the original. Chris Hemsworth’s Tyler Rake is back in action, as are Extraction director Sam Hargrave and producers Joe and Anthony Russo; Joe Russo even co-write the film’s screenplay. Also returning after the first Extraction are co-composers Alex Belcher and Henry Jackman, who brought exciting new dimensions to the franchise’s already distinct musical landscape.

The music of Extraction is notable for the way in which Belcher and Jackman utilized found instruments and out-of-the-box techniques—broken metal percussion instruments, opposite-hand cello playing, and more—to create a sound that reflected the characters in the film. Belcher and Jackman did the same in Extraction 2, with new characters also presenting new musical opportunities. During a recent interview with Screen Rant, Alex Belcher detailed his approach to writing music for one of the film’s primary antagonists...

Glaring Extraction 2 Plot Hole Could Have Ended The Movie 30 Minutes Early
Image
Warning: The following contains Spoilers for Extraction 2!A frustrating Extraction 2 plot hole could have seen the Netflix sequel end at least 30 minutes sooner. While Extraction 2 has received critiques for its thin storyline, reviews have been overall positive for the Sam Hargrave-directed sequel. Extraction 2 sees Chris Hemsworth's mercenary Tyler Rake - who narrowly survived death in the original Extraction - pulled out of retirement to rescue his former sister-in-law Ketevan (Tinatin Dalakishvili) and her children from a Georgian prison.

A major issue with that is her marriage to Davit (Tornike Bziava), co-founder of a paramilitary crime outfit called the Nagazi. After Rake kills Davit during the extraction, Davit's vicious brother Zurab (Tornike Gogrichiani) sends the full force of the Nagazi after them. Family is a core theme in Extraction 2, with Zurab seeking revenge while Rake is looking for redemption for the guilt he feels for leaving his dying son.

Are The Nagazi Real? Extraction 2's Gang Villains Explained
Image
Warning: Major Spoilers For Extraction 2 Below!Extraction 2's main villains are a Georgian crime syndicate dubbed the Nagazi, but does this group have any basis in reality? Just like the original movie, Extraction 2 features a minimum of plot and a maximum of action. The sequel gives Chris Hemsworth's Tyler Rake some time to recover from the near-fatal injuries he acquired in Extraction's ending, but from the moment he picks up an assault rifle and heads off on his latest rescue mission, it rarely pauses for breath.

Extraction 2 finds Rake breaking his former sister-in-law Ketevan (Tinatin Dalakishvili) and her children out of a Georgian prison. The issue is she's married to Davit Radiani (Tornike Bziava), who is a founding member of the Nagazi, a Georgian paramilitary and crime outfit that inspires cult-like devotion from its members. When Rake kills Davit during the prison extraction, his brother Zarab...

Marvel's Chris Hemsworth Wants to Keep Thor 'Unpredictable'
Image
Thor actor Chris Hemsworth recently shared that he wants to keep the God of Thunder "unpredictable" in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Hemsworth addressed whether a return to the MCU as Thor was in his future. "I've got to be careful how I word that because I have no idea what's happening in the next phase," he admitted. "There's always conversations [...] But officially, I don't know." He explained that, if he does return as the God of Thunder, he wants to make sure that they keep the character fresh for audiences: "I don't want to continue to do it until people are so exhausted that they roll their eyes when they see me come on the screen as that character." He added, "I've loved being able to reinvent that character a few times. I don't have the answer yet, but I would love to try and [figure out] how...

"Gnarly Motherf**ker": Idris Elba's Extraction 3 Setup Promises To Fix The Franchise
Image
Warning: Major Spoilers For Extraction 2 Below!Extraction 2 ends with Idris Elba's Alcott inviting Chris Hemsworth's Rake to meet a certain "Gnarly Motherf**ker," setting up Extraction 3. The Russo Brothers seem to love building franchises for themselves. After they wrapped up their MCU work, they quickly moved on to direct The Gray Man. This Ryan Gosling spy thriller was built to spawn sequels and spinoffs, while their Amazon series Citadel is poised to be the start of an international shared universe of shows. Extraction's ending didn't necessarily promise a sequel, but the huge streaming numbers for the Russo Brothers' produced action thriller made it inevitable.

Extraction 2 follows a similar formula to the original, with a simple story bolstered by incredible action sequences. Having survived the events of the original, Extraction 2 sees the recovered Rake (Hemsworth) setting off to rescue his former sister-in-law and her children from a Georgian prison.

Extraction 2 Ending Explained
Image
Warning: Major Spoilers For Extraction 2 Below!Extraction 2 ends on a fittingly explosive note, and sets the table for further Tyler Rake adventures. Now it appears Chris Hemsworth might be done with Thor - at least for the time being - he's found himself another franchise with Extraction. The first movie told a simple story but featured some incredible setpieces, with Hemsworth getting to show off his action skills. Extraction's ending suggested Hemworth's mercenary Rake may have survived his seemingly fatal plunge into a river, and the streaming numbers made Extraction 2 made his resurrection an inevitability.

Extraction 2 follows a similar formula to the original but with even more ambitious action and fight sequences. The story sees Rake recovering from his injuries, but then being recruited by Idris Elba's mysterious Extraction 2 character Alcott to break his former sister-in-law Ketevan (Tinatin Dalakishvili) and her children out of a Georgian prison.

Chris Hemsworth, Mariami Kovziashvili, and Marta Kovziashvili in Tyler Rake 2 (2023)
Extraction 2 Review: Brutal Action Imprisoned by Dull Drama
Chris Hemsworth, Mariami Kovziashvili, and Marta Kovziashvili in Tyler Rake 2 (2023)
Early in the Netflix action flick Extraction 2, handler Nik Khan (Golshifteh Farahani) looks upon the battered body of mercenary Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) and observes, “You fought your way back.” That might sound like a bit of empty exposition, but those who saw the first Extraction know how remarkable Rake’s achievement actually is. Adapted from the Ande Parks comic Cuidad, 2020’s Extraction ended with Rake plummeting into the Ganges after being stabbed and shot. A lot.

But as clear as Nik’s first comment may be, her follow-up is much more baffling. “You just have to find out why,” she continues, the camera holding on her face to make sure everyone understands just how concerned she is.

In its weakest moments, Extraction 2 spends too much time dwelling on the hero’s existential crisis. The first 20 minutes of the movie follow mercenary Rake as he recovers from his...

Extraction 2 Review

Plot: After barely surviving the events of the first movie, Rake is back as the Australian black ops mercenary, tasked with another deadly mission: rescuing the battered family of a ruthless Georgian gangster from the prison where they are being held.

Review: When Extraction made its debut right at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, it was the action extravaganza we needed to pull us out of the pandemic funk. It went on to garner 99 million views in its first four weeks, the most watched Netflix original at the time. Three years later, Chris Hemsworth, Joe Russo, and director Sam Hargrave are back with the next chapter which manages to equal the action of the first movie while expanding the world in preparation for Extraction 3 and beyond. With more insight into Tyler Rake’s backstory and a very different mission before him, Extraction 2 is a rock-solid sequel and the...

‘Extraction 2’ Review: Chris Hemsworth’s Streaming Sequel Ratchets Up the Adrenaline-Pumping Action
Image
A funny thing happened during our worldwide lockdown in 2020. With theaters shuttered, our immediate movie-going futures looking bleak and escapist entertainment becoming a therapeutic necessity, along came the rise of The Streaming Service Blockbuster — most notably “Extraction.” Stuntman-turned-director Sam Hargrave’s muscular albeit convoluted actioner, centered on a mercenary sent to rescue the kidnapped son of a crime lord, was handed a captive audience. All the folks at home made it a worldwide sensation for Netflix, and it continues to tear up the charts as their seventh most popular film ever.

Three years later and armed with a far better, bloody and bruising quest for the laconic hero, Hargrave, star Chris Hemsworth and screenwriter Joe Russo return to the burgeoning franchise with “Extraction 2”. The filmmakers’ renewed vigor is our reward as, similar to its unfussy title, this sequel deals in clean-lined action and suspense, removing much of the excessive...

‘Extraction 2’ Review: Chris Hemsworth Returns for Netflix’s Brainlessly Over-the-Top Sequel
Image
You didn’t think we’d seen the last of Tyler Rake, did you?

The black-ops mercenary played by Chris Hemsworth was the hero of 2020’s Extraction, one of Netflix’s most watched movies ever. So it’s hardly a surprise that the tough-as-nails, macho character returns in the unimaginatively titled Extraction 2, reuniting the Thor actor with director Sam Hargrave and screenwriter Joe Russo (co-director with brother Anthony on four MCU entries, including two Avengers flicks) for another wildly over-the-top adventure based on Andre Parks’ graphic novel Ciudad.

Suffice it to say that if you enjoyed Extraction, you’ll have a fine time with this one, which, in typical franchise fashion, busts its butt attempting to outdo its predecessor. And it does, most notably in a “oner” action sequence designed to appear as if it were filmed in a single take that lasts 21 minutes, or nearly twice as long...

‘Extraction 2’ Review: Netflix’s Brutally Entertaining Action Sequel Belongs on the Big Screen
Image
When we last left “Extraction” hero Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) he was, well, he was dead. He’d been beaten, shot multiple times, and tossed into a river, where he was presumably (again) dead. And yet…in the final moments of the Sam Hargrave-directed feature, a shadowy figure emerged, looking a bit like Tyler, albeit very much not dead, to watch over his young charge so many months after his apparent death. But, in the world of blockbuster filmmaking, no one is ever really dead, least of all an ass-kicking Aussie mercenary with a secret soft side, and thus: “Extraction 2.”

That Tyler is indeed not dead has served as the backbone of the Netflix action sequel’s marketing campaign, complete with the kicky hashtag #TylerRakeLives and its accompanying “punching arm on fire” emoji (which is basically this franchise in a nutshell). So it should come as little surprise that...

Extraction 2 Director Explains Why They Decided on a Sequel & Not a Prequel
Image
Extraction director Sam Hargrave has explained why the upcoming Extraction 2 is a sequel rather than the once-rumored prequel. Speaking with Collider, the former stuntman-turned-filmmaker revealed that keeping plans for Tyler Rake’s next adventure close to the chest was enforced by writer and producer Joe Russo, with both he and Hargrave concluding that “You don’t want to give too much away too early.” Ultimately, the decision to go forward instead of back was made to answer the questions that many were left with following the first movie.

“I don’t think you can [leave] an audience with that ending and then not go figure out what happened because that’s the question. Everyone’s like, “What? How? Who? When? How did that happen?” And so, we have to answer that question.”

The main question left dangling after the first Extraction is how Chris Hemsworth’s action hero Tyler Rake...

Extraction 2 star Chris Hemsworth recently suggested that the upcoming Netflix action film won't be his last time playing mercenary Tyler Rake.

In an interview with Total Film, the actor -- who is best known for starring in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Thor -- talked about how much love he has for the Extraction films. "I love playing the character. I love this world. I love having something else outside of Marvel that’s amassed a bit of a following, something more in the real world," Hemsworth said. "I honestly feel like we made a better film than the first one. That’s rare in the franchise world." He then hinted at a potential third film, teasing, "We’d be remiss not to have a crack at another one."

Chris Hemsworth Is Back From the Dead in ‘Extraction 2’ Trailer

The official trailer for Extraction 2 has Chris Hemsworth returning from near death as black ops mercenary Tyler Rake in another brutal display of power when he is personally requested for a rescue mission.

As is explained in the high-octane footage (below), Rake was clinically dead nine months ago. But he fought his way back and now, he just has to find out why.

Rake’s deadly mission follows his surviving the events of the original film and in the sequel aiming to rescue the battered family of a ruthless Georgian gangster from prison against impossible odds. Hemsworth continues such death-defying stunts in the nonstop, brutal and bloody Extraction 2 trailer.

The original Extraction thriller saw the Australian mercenary mourn the death of his son while rescuing the kidnapped son of an imprisoned Indian drug kingpin. Rake then seemingly died in the original Extraction, which hit Netflix in 2020, but a...

Extraction 2 Trailer: Chris Hemsworth's Tyler Rake Is Back, Somehow Not A Soggy Corpse
Image
A lot of peculiar things happened during the early months of the pandemic some 12,000 years ago in 2020. With everybody stuck at home, many people tried their hand at baking bread or singing sea shanties on TikTok. Others devoted their free time to playing "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" and remain very proud of the house they built for themselves, Tom Nook's parasitic loans be damned. Oh, and with most theaters shut down, viewers were left with little choice but to turn to streaming services for their entertainment.

Perhaps no movie benefitted more from the lockdowns than Netflix's "Extraction." A cross between "John Wick" and "Man on Fire," the movie stars Chris Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, a remarkably named black ops mercenary with a checkered past who's hired to rescue the son of an incarcerated Indian drug lord. In his review for /Film, Chris Evangelista wrote, "Bathed in a sickly yellow filter from beginning to end,...
