Sisu: Road to Revenge’ Debuts to Strong Festival Buzz, Sets Nov. 21 Theatrical Release

Early Fantastic Fest reviews describe a lean, bloodier sequel driven by Tommila’s taciturn hero opposite Stephen Lang’s ruthless commander.

Overview

  • The world premiere at Fantastic Fest 2025 drew positive notices framing the film as a crowd-pleasing, action-first follow-up.
  • Set in 1946, Aatami Korpi ventures into Soviet territory to reclaim and transport the remnants of his family home back to Finland.
  • Jorma Tommila returns as the largely silent protagonist, with Stephen Lang portraying primary antagonist Igor Draganov.
  • Critics highlight minimal dialogue, bigger set pieces, and gleefully violent spectacle aimed squarely at genre devotees.
  • A theatrical opening is slated for November 21, 2025, with an 88-minute runtime reported, following additional festival play including Beyond Fest.
