Sisu: Road to Revenge is hitting theaters on November 21, and critics are weighing in about the sequel!
The sequel to the original Sisu, released in 2022, is written and directed by Jalmari Helander.
Here’s a synopsis: “Returning to the house where his family was brutally murdered during the war, ‘the man who refuses to die’ (Jorma Tommila) dismantles it, loads it on a truck, and is determined to rebuild it somewhere safe in their honor. When the Red Army commander who killed his family (Stephen Lang) comes back hellbent on finishing the job, a relentless, eye-popping cross-country chase ensues – a fight to the death, full of clever, unbelievable action set pieces.”
Richard Brake also stars in the movie.

Sisu: Road to Revenge currently has a 95% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Guardian gave it 4 out of 5, writing: “Sisu 2 is a more-of-the-same sequel. The good news is that it remains terrific: punchy, old-school stunt work, crisply uncluttered cutting, and varied, inventive baddie-splattering.”
Empire gave it 4 out of 5, writing: “Finnish him! Gore-soaked and unbelievably bloody, this will make you wince, gasp and cheer for the little guy. Another authoritarian regime is in for a bad day, and that’s a lovely thing to watch.”
RogerEbert.com gave it 3.5 out of 4, writing: “Road to Revenge reimagines everything that worked about Sisu, but it does what an action sequel should do and builds on it instead of just repeating the same barely-controlled chaos. This movie rules.”
Bloody Disgusting gave it 4 out of 5, writing: “Helander channels George Miller in his raucous Mad Max-like road thriller that gives a big, bloody middle finger to reality in favor of crowd-pleasing action carnage.”
Slant gave it 3 out of 4, writing: “Much of Road to Revenge plays like a spectacularly gory silent film, with Aatami taking out scores of Red Army soldiers in action scenes that are as inventive as they are incredibly funny.”
