If you thought the first Sisu (2022) was crazy, you haven’t seen anything yet. The legendary ex-commando Aatami Korpi is back, and this time, the stakes are even higher, the explosions are bigger, and the laws of physics? They’ve been completely thrown out the window.

Here is why Sisu: Road to Revenge is the must-watch action spectacle of late 2025.

1. A Plot That Is Pure Adrenaline

Unlike the first film which was a survival story about protecting gold, the sequel shifts gears into a full-blown chase movie, heavily inspired by Mad Max: Fury Road. Two years after the events of the first film, Aatami isn’t just fighting for survival; he is fighting for his home—literally.

The premise is delightfully absurd: Aatami is transporting the dismantled pieces of his home across the Soviet border to rebuild it in Finland. Naturally, a heavily armed Soviet battalion stands in his way. What follows is a 90-minute, non-stop vehicular warfare sequence involving motorcycles, trucks, planes, and an insane finale on a train.

2. Action That Defies Logic (In the Best Way)

Critics and fans agree on one thing: this movie is “carnage candy.” Directed again by Jalmari Helander, the film embraces an R-rated, cartoonish level of violence that will have you grinning from ear to ear.

Forget realism. We are talking about action sequences that feel like levels in a video game, ramping up in intensity. From underwater kills to using a truck like a weapon of mass destruction, the film invites you to turn off your brain and enjoy the chaos. As one reviewer noted, it’s not about whether it’s possible; it’s about how cool it looks when Aatami refuses to die.

3. A Villain With Presence

The film upgrades its villain department by bringing in the legendary Stephen Lang (Avatar, Don’t Breathe). Lang plays the main antagonist, a Soviet commander with a personal vendetta against our silent hero. His performance adds a layer of grit and menace that elevates the conflict beyond just “nameless bad guys.”

4. The “Silent” Treatment

True to the franchise’s style, Aatami (played by Jorma Tommila) remains a man of few words—actually, almost no words. While some might find the lack of dialogue emotionally distant, for action purists, it is a masterclass in visual storytelling. He doesn’t need to speak; his pickaxe and shotgun do all the talking.

Final Verdict: Is It Worth Watching?

Absolutely. With a tight runtime of just 1 hour and 31 minutes, Sisu: Road to Revenge respects your time. It doesn’t drag; it punches you in the face and leaves you wanting more. While it leans more into “over-the-top fun” than the gritty realism of the first movie, it is easily one of the most entertaining cinematic experiences of the year.

If you love John Wick, Mad Max, or old-school 80s action movies where the hero is an unstoppable force of nature, book your tickets now.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (9/10) – A bloody, brutal, and beautiful masterpiece.
