Sisu: Road to Revenge

Set in 1946, two years after the first film, the war is over but the fallout remains. Large portions of Finland have been claimed by Russia, with the Red Army ruling the border with an iron fist. Here we find... See more Korpi (Jorma Tommila), attempting to return home, only to discover his land now lies on the Soviet side. While tragic for him, it turns out to be far worse for them. As Korpi wanders the ruins of his home, we learn more about his past: his family was brutally murdered by deranged Soviet commander Igor Draganov (Stephen Lang). Their deaths sparked Korpi’s bloody warpath, and now his grief fuels his vengeance. We watch him wander the dusty and haunted remains of his home, finding a photo of a family long lost. On the wall, he traces the notches where he measured the height of his son as he grew. In a sobering touch, he dismantles his house plank by plank, intent on carrying the wood back across the border to rebuild, a moving symbol of both loss and hope in his quest to find some much needed inner peace.

Meanwhile, Draganov languishes in a Serbian prison until his old general (played with trademark menace by Richard Brake) informs him that the monster he created has returned. Released like a rabid dog from his chain, Draganov sets out to finally destroy Korpi once and for all. The stage is set for a bloody game of cat and mouse.
