Hollywood has long celebrated the revenge-action genre, from Kill Bill and Taken to Gladiator, with modern franchises like John Wick driving the frenzy further. Sisu quietly entered this arena in 2022, and now returns with a sequel that leans fully into the myth of its unkillable hero.
Jorma Tommila reprises his role as Aatami Korpi, the weathered soldier whose entire family was slaughtered by the vicious Soviet officer Igor Draganov (Stephen Lang). Korpi’s mission is simple but profound: rebuild his home in Finland. But before he can get there, Draganov unleashes the full force of rogue soldiers to eliminate him—only to be confronted by a man who refuses to die.
Writer-director Jalmari Helander wastes no time plunging the film into action. The story kicks off with Korpi dismantling what’s left of his house and hauling the lumber across borders. Soon, he’s intercepted by Draganov’s men, triggering a bloody pursuit that rarely lets up. What could have been a mindless action ride becomes surprisingly engaging because the film grounds Korpi’s fury—his desire to rebuild, reclaim, and avenge gives every kill purpose.
The combat is relentless and inventive. Attacks come from land, air, and water, each sequence offering fresh brutality and cold-blooded ingenuity. The film often veers into the preposterous, but it commits to its own legend so fully that the excess becomes part of the fun. It’s revenge cinema stripped to the bone and frozen in the bleak northern wilderness.
Tommila is excellent as the battle-worn, near-silent warrior whose resolve speaks louder than any dialogue. His physicality drives the film. Stephen Lang, meanwhile, revels in his role as the unhinged antagonist, bringing a chilling unpredictability that keeps the stakes high. Their face-off anchors the narrative with ferocity and presence.
The chapter-based structure keeps the pacing tight, and Mika Orasmaa’s cinematography captures the stark beauty and quiet menace of the Nordic landscape, giving the film a haunting visual identity.
Overall, this sequel almost never slows down. It’s a cold, violent, deeply satisfying road-to-revenge story that delivers adrenaline, spectacle, and a protagonist you can’t help but root for. A brutal and entertaining continuation of Korpi’s myth.
