Rating: 8 out of 10, An excellent follow up to the surprising
first film. Our hero, once again, without saying a single word in the movie,
plows his way through a horde of enemies trying to kill him. He sneaks into the
Soviet Union in 1946 to visit his old homestead where his family was killed. He
dismantles the house and attempts to sneak it back into Finland. The Soviets, a
bit put out by the more than 300 Soviet soldiers he killed during early WW2,
decide to send the man who killed his family after him. Big mistake. Jorma Tommila
is truly a force of nature as the Soviets don’t do any better than the Nazis
did in the first film. You have to suspend a lot of disbelief to make it work
but this is an eminently watchable, non-stop action flick as he wades through
the Russians. Stephen Lang is the head bad guy as he seems to have made a
career out of scarily competent villains. The cinematography is fantastic as
the filmmakers don’t depend, too much, on CGI. A great movie.
MVP:
Who else could it be but Tommila reprising his role as Aatami Korpi
