Sisu: Road to Revenge
Directed by Jalmari Helander
Returning to the house where his family was brutally murdered during the war, "the man who refuses to die" dismantles it, loads it on a truck, and is determined to rebuild it somewhere safe in their honor. When the commander who killed his family comes back hellbent on finishing the job, a relentless, eye-popping cross-country chase ensues. From TMDB

For action film fans whose thirst for seeing fascists shuffling off their mortal coils in increasingly brutal ways were not quite slaked after the excellent SISU (2022), SISU: ROAD TO REVENGE picks up where our legendary Finnish ex-soldier Aatami Korpi (Jorma Tommila) left off. Writer and director Jalmari Helander of both SISU films shows no sign of accumulating rust with even more breathtaking scenes of shock and …

Rambo II - this time it's logistical! As the first Sisu-movie, this is just Rambo, but Finnish. This time the antagonist is not a Nazi but a Soviet, and the kills are a lot more over the top than in the last one. Some things are more ludicrous than the last movie, and if that bothers you then you are at the wrong movie. The protagonist has no lines worth mentioning, and unlike the last one when he had some badass …

Our intro is met with a heavy realization that just because the war was over, it didn't help the natives of the lands that were once occupied by the German, as the Russian decided they needed some of the land they re-aquired through the war. The scene is tense upon the start, and appears to be filled with regret and a Hate brought on by the Ravages of War. The Wicked have set the game in motion and our Sisu is in …

I must admit that I’d entirely forgotten about “Sisu” (2022) until I sat down to watch this, and then it all came flooding back. Maybe that is because this isn’t so very different. He (Jorma Tommila) has returned from his native Finland to his former home in what is now Soviet occupied Karelia to collect it. Yep, he is going to dismantle the wooden home he built for his murdered family and relocate it across the …

Ridiculously over-the-top. Insultingly impossible action. Glorious. Look past all of the insane levels of destruction and carnage and you will see the special heart of this story. A man is going to take his family home. It's that simple. Along the way he encounters some.... hurdles that need to be jumped. So he jumps them. Fantastic experience.

Critics, per Wikipedia
In the United States, Sisu: Road to Revenge was released alongside Wicked: For Good. The film made $575,000 in Thursday night box office previews. Despite a significantly wider release than its predecessor, the film only grossed $2.6 million in its opening weekend, which is a 21.9% drop from its predecessor's $3.3 million opening. By Thanksgiving weekend, the film's box office was down 66%, averaging $365 per-screen. Given the film's budget of over $12 million, the film became a box-office bomb, grossing approximately $10 million worldwide. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 93% of 100 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.4/10. The website's consensus…

neutral · AI labelView post →watched Sisu last night and cannot overstate how much I enjoyed “Nazis anger elemental force of determination and vengeance, suffer consequences” great movie, no notes
positive · AI labelView post →What if you mixed John Wick with a war movie, shot it a bit like a spaghetti western? IMO, you’d get the Sisu movies. First one is a bit gritty & the second is over the top. Which is saying something, considering some of the scenes from the first. Recommended 👍🏽👍🏽 youtu.be/VmStqCXIgio?...
positive · AI labelView post →So we were looking for a movie for tonight… ME: What’s SISU? I sorta recognize the name…oh, is it Finnish? KEVIN: *rising maniacal laughter*
neutral · AI labelView post →there is never anything wrong with watching this fine film, or Sisu, or Inglourious Basterds, or Defiance either to keep your spirits up or as a means of sympathetic magic let me also recommend The Death of Stalin
neutral · AI labelView post →My mom and I went to see 'Sisu 2’ yesterday. It was surprisingly funny, for an action-revenge movie. I never thought my mom would laugh so hard about commies getting blasted in different ways. This was way more fun than most DC movies, and it was made for $12m. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu:_R...
positive · AI labelView post →Every time I think about RatLD I wrestle with my complicated feelings about how it poorly represented SEAsian culture and how I don't like the movie overall, but also how much I wanna fuck the authenticity back into Sisu. She will be pounded endlessly for Disney's crimes
neutral · AI labelView post →Re-watching 'Nobody'. A film that harks back to classic 80s action movies. No bollocks CGI nonsense, just wonderful gratuitous violence and comedy. More of this, please. See also: the Sisu franchise.

neutral · AI labelView post →Sisu. This movie was just absurd .. but at the same so much fun. Who doesn’t want to see a Finnish Super Soldier slaughter nazis, and then slaughter more Nazis and top that off with even more slaughtering of Nazis. If you want to see a guy board a plane in flight using a pick axe… and then.. slaughter more nazis, than this movie for you!
positive · AI labelView post →We finally watched Sisu, the only movie I have ever heard about starring a Bedlington Terrier. And it looks so much like Uggi, when his coat grows a bit long! Uggi slept through most of it lying on my stomach, but I quite enjoyed it.
positive · AI labelView post →I might need to move out soon as I can't afford to live in my current place if I can't get any work to pay the rent and bills. Please, share as much as possible. Previously worked in movie VFX for 10 years in teams and solo, delivered about 1000 shots. Did work to SISU, SISU 2, Havoc, and many more.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched the second Sisu movie and it really feels like a Tom and Jerry movie but with the over-the-top violence dialed to 11.

positive · AI labelView post →saw the SISU sequel last night. absolutely unhinged shit. it starts out as John Wick x Fury Road, then becomes Tom & Jerry, then goes full Itchy & Scratchy. maybe the most gruesome (fun, good) movie I’ve ever seen.

positive · AI labelView post →Film #365 for 2024 is Sisu, the perfect father-and-son movie with all the right energy for going into a new year.
positive · AI labelView post →SISU: ROAD TO REVENGE is a great standalone action sequel. Elegantly simple construction, joyously absurd violence, mythical escalation, and then somehow it genuinely moved me. Stephen Lang and Richard Brake with Russian accents are the perfect opposition for our Finnish Rambo.
positive · AI labelView post →God, give me the confidence of that guy at the movie theater who sat next to me and pulled out a full rotisserie Costco chicken to eat while we watched Sisu.
neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025 Jalmari Helander) I did not expect this movie to start with our hero brazenly entering Soviet occupied land to retrieve his house.
neutral · AI labelView post →WHY does Sisu have such a good "I have my own... ssssubtle little waayssss" look? I know the movie wasn't that good, but seriously... Sisu is owning that 'playful-hungry-hypnotist' look about her...
neutral · AI labelView post →Thursday movie: Sisu (2022) ****
positive · AI labelView post →Hell yeah. #Sisu: Road to Revenge asks, “What if Michael Bay directed the Looney Tunes as a silent movie?” A bloody, brutal, absurdist live action cartoon that captures the challenges of moving house. A fun time at the pictures.
positive · AI labelView post →Remember in that movie when Sisu turned into a human for a bit? No, you don't... that never happened. That never happened
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched SISU on cable. Damn, that is one awesomely fun action movie. Spending two hours watching Nazis get pummeled and shredded felt very satisfying tonight.

neutral · AI labelView post →So hu, I just finished watching Sisu, a movie about cowboy John Wick killing nazis in northern Finland. Funny how they left one minute detail out of the exposition though.
neutral · AI labelView post →Trailers: Nuremberg, Pillion, Sisu: Road to Revenge, Christmas Karma This was tonight's Mystery Screening, although one chain's hints were pretty obvious. It is absolutely hilarious that this is a Paramount movie given the message of the film, and who owns them right now. Old guard, and all that.
neutral · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #152 "Sisu" (Jalmari Helander/2022) A movie about my favorite past time, destroying Nazis! A brutally violent tale about a solitary prospector and his dog crossing paths with some baddies. Simple but awesome, check it out.
positive · AI labelView post →Sisu is great, but everyone should check out the criminally under loved OVERLORD, which is practically a Wolfenstein movie
positive · AI labelView post →#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday I decided to watch good movies this week it looks like! Barely missing the weekly cutoff was Forgotten Island at 5 stars. Rope was fine, interesting technically but it failed to come together as a satisfying narrative film for me. Sisu rocked! Fuck em up, granpa!
positive · AI labelView post →I saw SISU: ROAD TO REVENGE (FIN,GBR, USA 2025) in the cinema, and I liked the film as well as the fact that there's now a Finnish super hero! Hopefully, this franchise continues! 🇫🇮🤜💥👍👍

neutral · AI labelView post →Finally watched “Sisu” last night. A movie our times needs. The sort of insane brainless over the top war movie that you would expect from an Italian director in the 70s. Really rip roaring anti-Nazi stuff

positive · AI labelView post →Just watched Sisu. Set in the bleak landscape of Lapland in Finland, it's the story of a legendary soldier turned gold prospector during WW2, who runs foul of a company of SS. Light on plot, but blunt, brutal and darkly funny, if you want to see Nazis die in colourful ways, this is the film for you.
