The action film Sisu shocked audiences in 2022 when they watched Aatami (Jorma Tommila) barely speak but use his skills to take out a bunch of Nazis during World War II. But what happens when he’s faced with returning home to his past with the Soviet Union breathing down his neck?
The Jalmari Helander sequel, Sisu: Road to Revenge, asks the question: How can we make Aatami speak even less than in the first film and yet make him more badass? And the film succeeds on multiple levels. Aatami is going back to his home to see what is left of his house. He decides to take down the wood that once kept his family safe to rebuild in the newly minted Finland.
