How to watch Sisu: Road to Revenge in New Zealand
Sisu’s unkillable former commando returns for more mayhem!
Sisu gets rather even-handed in its choice of villains with this sequel. Whereas the first film saw our unkillable gold prospector slaughtering Nazis by the busload, Sisu: Road to Revenge puts evil Red Army marauders in the former commando’s gunsights. And if you know anything about what happened to Finland during World War II, you know that makes perfect sense.

What is Sisu: Road to Revenge about?
Unholy amounts of righteous violence!
Let’s drop a link to Wikipedia’s article on the Winter War for historical context, before explaining that Sisu: Road to Revenge picks up after the events of—what else?—Sisu, in which an impressive number of Nazis learned to their brief regret that hassling an old gold prospector on his way into town can have surprisingly lethal consequences. That prospector, Aatami Korpi, is set upon moving his late family’s cabin to a new, safer location, only for the Soviet swine who massacred his kin to try and finish the job. Carnage ensues.
The cast of Sisu: Road to Revenge
Jorma Tommila is Aatami Korpi, former Finnish Army commando turned gold prospector; Stephen Lang is Igor Draganov, his evil Soviet nemesis; and Richard Brake, Sandy E. Scott, Einar Haraldsson, and Jaakko Hutchings round out the cast.

Why we’re excited about Sisu: Road to Revenge
When it dropped back in 2022, Sisu was a breath of fresh air for action fans, offering up a minimalist narrative scaffold, its sole function to support seemingly endless scenes of creative carnage, anchored by a gritty near-silent central performance from the grizzled Jorma Tommila. By all early accounts, Sisu: Road to Revenge is all of that and more. So how could we possibly resist?
