Overview
- Sony Pictures releases the Jalmari Helander–written and directed sequel in U.S. theaters on November 21.
- Set in 1946 Soviet‑occupied Karelia, Aatami Korpi (Jorma Tommila) dismantles his ruined home and drives its timber toward Finland while pursued by Red Army officer Igor Draganov (Stephen Lang).
- Critics spotlight brisk, high‑octane set pieces and a mythic, largely silent hero–villain dynamic, alongside occasional complaints about thin character beats.
- Helander emphasizes in‑camera stunt work and heavier practical gore than the first film, including a notoriously messy train sequence drenched in fake blood.
- The filmmaker has said he steered away from copying the Rambo formula for this sequel and is preparing an official Rambo prequel targeted to start filming in early 2026.
