If you thought the original Sisu (2022) was brutal and unforgettable, buckle up — the sequel Sisu: Road to Revenge takes it to a whole new level. Writer-director Jalmari Helander returns with more mayhem, more heart, and more of that relentless action that fans can’t get enough of.
What’s the Plot?
The story picks up in 1946, right after the war has ended. Aatami Korpi (Jorma Tommila), a former Finnish commando and gold prospector, returns to his family home — the very place where his loved ones were slaughtered.
He tears the house down, loads the pieces onto a truck, and plans to rebuild it somewhere safe as a tribute. But peace isn’t in the cards. That’s because Igor Draganov (Stephen Lang), the ruthless Red Army officer who killed Aatami’s family, is back — and with him come a host of threats, setting off a cross-country chase of vengeance, survival, and pure carnage.
