This is a thrill ride sequel of the 2022 Finnish hit and whilst you can argue it's more of the same you can't argue that it is pure adrenaline fuelled With its clear influences of Mad Max, Indiana Jones, and The Terminator this is just one big chase movie with gutfuls of cartoon violence and buckets of blood. It's 1946 and the old Finnish commando, Aatami (Jorma Tommila) travels into now Soviet held part of Finland where he dismantles his old home and the site of the murder of his family by the Russians during the war and heads back towards Finland to rebuild it and live in peace. But the Soviets haven't forgiven him for the death toll he inflicted on their troops and send after him Dragunov (Stephen Lang), the killer of Aatami's family, to finally kill him. Aatami, as expected, defies all attempts to do so! Lang channels his bad ass character Colonel Quaritch from the Avatar series and is a worthy opponent here. The action is fast and gutsy as the film rattles along at breakneck speed. Of course it's all ridiculous but is so much fun to watch.
