Vengeance has a name, and it roars back onto the screen this fall. SISU: Road to Revenge, the long-awaited sequel to Jalmari Helanderās cult hit SisuĀ (2022), promises a relentless storm of blood, grit, and survival. With a budget bigger than its predecessor, an even deadlier cast, and a story soaked in rage, this film is ready to prove that legends never fadeāthey fight.
𩸠A Story Forged in Blood and Fire
The war may be over, but Aatami KorpiĀ (Jorma Tommila)āthe man who refuses to dieācannot rest. He returns to the ashes of his old home, where his family was brutally murdered, dismantles the house plank by plank, and loads it on a truck. His mission is simple yet heartbreaking: to rebuild it somewhere safe, to preserve their memory in a land not poisoned by violence.
But vengeance always finds a way back. Stephen Lang, best known for his chilling role in Donāt Breathe, steps in as the ruthless Red Army commander who slaughtered Korpiās family. Heās not done yet. This time, the battle stretches beyond Lapland, transforming into a brutal cross-country chaseĀ where honor, grief, and survival collide.
As Aatami growls, āIf the war doesnāt end, neither will I.ā
š¬ A Bigger, Meaner Sequel
Unlike the first filmās isolated landscapes, SISU: Road to RevengeĀ takes its mayhem on the road. With filming in EstoniaĀ and a budget soaring to ā¬11 million, the sequel raises the stakes with massive set pieces, vehicular carnage, and jaw-dropping, physics-defying action sequences. Expect explosions, trench brutality, and inventive survival tacticsāall drenched in Helanderās signature pulp flair.
Jorma Tommila returns to embody Aatamiās unyielding rage, joined by Richard BrakeĀ (Barbarian) and the ever-menacing Stephen Lang. Director Jalmari HelanderĀ has promised fans that the sequel wonāt just repeat the first filmās formulaāit will expand the legend into something far bolder.
āļø The Legacy of Sisu
The original SisuĀ stunned audiences worldwide, hailed as āJohn Wick in World War IIāĀ for its mix of unrelenting violence and mythic determination. But Road to RevengeĀ isnāt just a continuationāitās a transformation. The first film showed us a manās will to survive; the second shows us his need to avenge, rebuild, and redefine what survival means.
Helander himself teased in early interviews:āI have an idea of what would happen next⦠Maybe somebody needs Aatami Korpiās skills again. But in this story, heās the one who needs them most.ā
