# Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025)

Nov 28, 2025 | Rated 3.5 out of 5 | Dir. Jalmari Helander

Sisu 2: Fury Road.

This movie is brutal - sometimes genuinely hard to watch - but it’s so propulsive that looking away feels impossible. The Nazis are gone this time, which I do miss, but watching cold-blooded Soviets get what’s coming to them scratches a similar itch. Let’s be honest about what this is, though: it’s a superhero movie. Aatami Korpi is an indestructible man, and the film knows it.

As a Scandinavian living in the Midwest, I love seeing Finnish stoicism portrayed on screen. There’s something deeply satisfying about a protagonist who just does not talk and does not stop.

Also - and this is critical - the dog never gets hurt. I was clenched the entire runtime waiting for the worst. The dog is fine.
