I had quite high expectations for this movie after having watched Reindeer Spotting and having read praising reviews. However, it turned out the movie was a complete waste of time and money.
Basically the movie was a compilation of a few old short clips of Jani and Antti taking drugs with a bunch of hookers and being high, short interviews with hookers and locals, and some absolutely terrible Max Payne/Sin City inspired wannabe gloomy hangover narration, that tried set a distressing atmosphere and sew the story line together, while being so made up and cliche that it made me burst with second-hand embarrassment. It was very disappointing to notice that the narration took majority of the movie time. The camera work and overall execution was so amateurish and annoying that having watched the movie for 5 minutes I wish the movie would not be like this for the whole time, but alas it was, and after 30 minutes I just wished it was over. I did watch it though though, as I rarely walk out of the theater, only to discover that the movie had very little content, lacked interesting story line whatsoever, and I really just wasted my time by watching it.
I had expected this movie to be about Jani, like Reindeer Spotting was, but in fact Jani's appearance was limited to about a total of 2 minutes of clips unrelated to the storyline. The sorry narration tried to build the disappearance of Jani into some kind of mystery that wouldn't let the viewer's mind to be at rest, but in that it failed miserably. Jani remained a distant character in the film and my attention started to wander from the intended storyline into pondering and feeling sorry for the tragic life of poor Asian girls, who have no opportunities in life and have to sell themselves, rather than the very expectable death of Jani. His fate remained unsolved in the movie but somehow it didn't bother me at all. There was no satisfaction in watching the movie to the end. It was filler material from start to finish.
To sum up, I strongly advice against watching this movie if you value your time. It's a sorry attempts to cash in with the fame of the first movie. If you are really interested in the movie, wait until it shows up on tv or streaming services, which I expect to happen very soon, where you don't have to feel bad for skipping the rest of the film after realizing how bad it is.
