In Gmunden, Austria: in a nutshell; after getting fixed up Tyler Rake [Chris Hemsworth:] a former Australian ASA operative turned mercenary, gets given a job to do by Alcott [Idris Elba:] a man named stranger which is credited having the name Alcott, gives Rake this job, because this individual asked for him, let's just say Rake will come face-to-face with his past [yes it does get brought up,] don't I am not going to give this away. He and his unit of Nik Khan [Golshifteh Farahani:] a mercenary that usually gets the contracts and her brother Yaz Kahn [Adam Bessa:] a member of Rake unit and he and his sister are close.

The framework and pacing is smooth or/and presented as real-life so in its representation it is going to come across as chaotic and messy and for the pacing of this 122 minutes film is a little bit slow in the beginning stages, but when it kicks into a much higher gear then it rapidly wakes up, on both counts I discuss these momentarily.

Generally speaking: Art/Action/Comedy; to begin with on an individual basis the seemingly with the snow or/and ice is elegant. But let's move on shall we; yes all of the action sequences are good fun; but I am just going to choose one; the prison extraction sequence of events sees Rake being rumbled on what was meant to be a relatively stealthy extraction turned out to be a very chaotic; with Rake having to shoot or/and perform physical combat on these prisoners that are attempting to stop him from achieving the first part of the mission, he does have assistance from a member of this extraction objective she has this snow shovel which comes in handy. The movement/art; comes from having to keep up with this non-stop action, it looks clean and tidy which I am now going to contradict myself by saying by its presentation it succeeds to give off the impression that okay, everything is about to hit the fan as so many people come out absolutely everywhere. If you were wondering about the other two members of Rake's unit, they will join us later in the second part and onwards which involves vehicles chasing and bullets flying, moving on to the third and final part; on to what it was to be a cargo train, where at some point Rake picks up this military guns [two different; one at a time.] As we see Rake shooting at these armoured choppers; these sequence are very much designed like a shooting video game where you have the character [us] and this thing we have to take down, for those gamers out there it has been given a presentation of perhaps a middle level boss and ending level boss, sandwiched between the Nic has her own action sequence in this very confined area. For the comedy there are some comical moments like for an example; we get the usage of a repeating comedy reference of a nutshell "Do you trust me?"

Character developments and performances: generally speaking are reliable versions of what they are meant to be, as it relates to Rake there is some excellent character progression and for the performances they are likewise reliable performances to reflect their character types.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; this sequel has a storyline which has progression at its foundation which on top of that lots of action with some character growth.
