Summary
SISU: Road to Revenge brings back Finland’s most unstoppable ex-commando, Aatami Korpi, diving straight into another brutal gauntlet of vengeance, grit, and sheer unbreakable willpower. After finding a fragile peace in the aftermath of his gold-fueled rampage, Korpi is dragged back into violence when a new band of opportunistic mercenaries threatens the one thing he has left worth protecting.
What follows is an explosive trail of carnage across the frozen frontier: mines, traps, improvised weapons, and an old soldier’s creativity pushed to mythic extremes. The film doubles down on everything that made the original a cult favorite — gnarly kills, dark humor, insane resilience, and the legend of a man too stubborn to die.
SISU: Road to Revenge is a stripped-down, savage revenge ride that proves once again that SISU-ness isn’t just toughness… it’s a whole survival philosophy. Perfect for fans of the first film, pulpy action, and anybody who loves watching one man absolutely ruin an army’s week.
