It appears that we’re right. The camera responsible for the crazy impressive 22-minute oner in Extraction 2, is the Red Digital Cinema Komodo. The implementation of the oner was possible due to dedicated camera rigs, for two hands, and one hand, as the Director of Photography, Greg Baldi, elaborated.

Extraction 2 was shot on various cameras: Arri Alexa Mini Lf, and Red Digital Cinema Komodo. However, when the teaser was released, we made an assumption that the oners which were packed with tons of action, were shot on the Komodo. Read the reasons why we thought that. Anyway, according to the Dp Greg Baldi, it appears we’re right. As stated by Baldi: “Our entire 22-minute action oner on Extraction 2 was all shot on Komodo.

Extraction 2 director Sam Hargrave is part of a current wave of stuntmen turned directors, and so he’s routinely mentioned in the same sentence as John Wick co-creators Chad Stahelski and David Leitch. Hargrave actually cut his directorial teeth by creating stunt-viz and fight-viz for the likes of Stahelski and Leitch, as well as the Russo brothers, Gavin O’Connor and Francis Lawrence. And so when Hargrave got called up to the majors to direct 2020’s Extraction, starring Chris Hemsworth, he executed the action filmmaking at such a high level that Netflix knew they had a franchise in the making, prerelease.
Hargrave admits that there’s good-natured competition between him and his contemporaries, even if John Wick: Chapter 4 made him doubt himself ever so briefly.
“If you’ve seen John Wick: Chapter 4, it’s a masterpiece. Sometimes, it makes you want to go home and hang it up and say, ‘Yeah,...

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...

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...

Say what you will about 2023, but at the very least, it has been generously scratching a cinematic itch: a craving for the type of kinetic, nimble action cinema (one blessedly not superhero-driven) that used to be in the audiences’ regular moviegoing diet back in the 1990s.
Indeed, amid the miraculous “John Wick 4,” the surprisingly deep “Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant,” the deliriously fun and high-concept “Plane” and even the unapologetically feminist indie “Polite Society,” the year’s first half has treated us to a delectable buffet of polished chase sequences, high-wire escapes and punchy fist fights. So why not make room for one more before Tom Cruise arrives on the scene with “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” and flies off a cliff on a motorcycle?
This is where Sam Hargrave’s high-stakes Netflix thriller “Extraction 2” comes in, with the director returning after 2020’s first “Extraction,” a...

Fate of the Furious had plenty of remarkable scenes — from a jail escape sequence to a showdown with a nuclear submarine. But only one could truly set the stage for the blockbuster, and Greg Baldi had a front row seat to Dom's (Vin Diesel) show-opening Cuban race.
Baldi joined the production for several weeks as a second unit cinematographer specifically for the drag race scene, and he reveals the gritty details in a conversation with Heat Vision — where he discusses why it wouldn't have been possible even just a decade ago and the jitters he felt careening 100 miles per...
