"leans into the absurdity a lot more" - I mean, is that even possible? In Sisu he set himself on fire and then crashed a plane into Lapland and walked away... Is there an atomic bomb this time?

Watched the first Sisu last night. It was like some kind of ballet of violence. Thoroughly enjoyed it even though it was ridiculously hilarious, especially the plane crash.
Ready or Not wasn't bad, I'm not sure it needed a sequel. I don't tend to watch sport on TV any more, too depressing.
