Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025)
Gear up for the blistering sequel Sisu: Road to Revenge, where Jalmari Helander cranks the original’s Nazi-slaying frenzy into a post-WWII powder keg of vengeance. Jorma Tommila roars back as Aatami Korpi, the unkillable prospector haunted by his family’s slaughter at the hands of the Red Army. Returning to his ravaged Finnish homestead, Korpi sets out to salvage and relocate the ruins—only to ignite a savage cat-and-mouse across snow-choked wilds when the merciless commander Igor Draganov (Stephen Lang, channeling icy menace) picks up his trail. Richard Brake adds brutal edge as a key antagonist, fueling a relentless pursuit packed with improvised weapons and environmental mayhem.
Helander’s vision explodes with amplified chaos: think vehicular carnage echoing Mad Max: Fury Road, blended with the first film’s gleeful gore and silent-era slapstick flair. Tommila’s Korpi is a stoic storm—his every improvised takedown a testament to raw, reindeer-fueled grit, eyes burning with quiet apocalypse. Lang’s Draganov is a standout foil, his calculated cruelty clashing against Korpi’s primal storm in chaptered showdowns that build to euphoric brutality. From “Motor Mayhem” romps to intimate axe duels, the film’s epic Lapland vistas and thundering score make every kill a visual symphony. This is action cinema reborn—bigger, bloodier, and bursting with that unbreakable Finnish sisu. A thrill ride for fans of over-the-top heroism, it’s the sequel that doesn’t just deliver; it detonates.
