Aatami Korpi (Jorma Tommila), still haunted by the wartime massacre of his family, sets out to tear down the remnants of his old home and rebuild a new life far away from the ghosts of his past. But his quiet mission is shattered when a ruthless Red Army commander discovers his plans. What follows is a relentless chase across the harsh Nordic wilderness, where survival turns into vengeance—and a silent warrior proves once again that death refuses to claim him.
Hollywood has always adored the revenge-action genre—be it Kill Bill, Taken, Gladiator, or the massively popular John Wick franchise. When Sisu arrived in 2022, it carved a unique niche with its icy brutality and myth-like hero. Sisu: Road to Revenge now returns with a sequel that embraces every ounce of its savage energy, cementing Korpi as one of modern cinema’s most unkillable action icons.
A Relentless Return to Blood-Soaked Revenge
Jorma Tommila once again delivers a standout performance as Aatami Korpi, the weathered ex-soldier still driven by grief and a burning desire for justice. His new mission—quietly transporting lumber to rebuild his home in Finland—quickly spirals into chaos when Soviet officer Igor Draganov (a chilling Stephen Lang) sends rogue soldiers after him. What begins as a journey of healing transforms into a brutal, pulse-pounding revenge saga.
Action That Hits Hard—From Land, Air, and Water
Writer-director Jalmari Helander wastes no time plunging viewers into nonstop action. The chase sequences are vicious, inventive, and visually gripping. Whether Korpi is fighting underwater, surviving air attacks, or battling ambushes on frozen terrain, each encounter raises the stakes.
The violence often reaches exaggerated, almost mythic proportions—but that’s precisely what makes the film thrilling. It fully owns its over-the-top style, delivering a hyper-real, adrenaline-filled spectacle that fans of hardcore action will relish.
Performances That Elevate the Carnage
Tommila’s near-silent, physically commanding performance gives Korpi an almost supernatural aura—he’s a man who simply refuses to die. Stephen Lang is equally compelling, bringing ruthless intensity to his villainous role. Their conflict forms the emotional and narrative backbone of the film.
A Visually Haunting Nordic Landscape
The film’s chapter-based storytelling keeps the pace tight, while Mika Orasmaa’s cinematography captures the stark, haunting beauty of the Nordic wilderness. The cold bleakness becomes its own character—silent, merciless, and unforgiving.
