In doing research for my review of the movie SISU, I discovered that there is talk of a SISU 2. I was excited to see that because I love this movie and the thought of it being a franchise is very exciting to me. Jorma Tommila as Aatami Korpa, the Finnish Commando turned legend, reminds me of Jason Statham or Denzel Washington in The Equalizer Movies only in a Finnish WWII setting. SISU was filmed in Northern Lapland, Finland in the town of Nuorgam which is at the very top of Finland. In the movie Aatami Korpa makes his way to Helsinki to trade in his Gold. Helsinki is Finland’s southern Capitol and sits on the Gulf of Finland.
At the very end of SISU Aatami makes his way into a Bank in Helsinki and trades in his gold for cash. SISU 2 has reportedly wrapped up filming in Estonia, which is across the Gulf of Finland directly south of Helsinki. It makes you wonder about the plotline and which direction the story of SISU 2 will go. Did Aatami trade in his gold for cash and then decide to head south across the Gulf to Estonia to start a new life? Maybe he does exactly that and the comrades of the German Nazis he killed come to Estonia seeking revenge.
The quiet mild-mannered old man living quietly in Estonia, tending to his garden when……they find him and then all hell breaks loose. Just like in the first SISU only this time instead of a pick-axe he used to dig up the gold, he defends himself with a garden shovel, hoe or rake. The legend of Aatami Korpa was based on the true story of a Finnish sniper who killed over 500 Russian soldiers. Maybe where Aatami is in Estonia, he is tracked down by old Russian comrades of people he killed before the Germans. Estonia used to be part of Russia so there could be a tie there.
Anyway that is all speculation on my part. What I do know is , according to Finnish media, the film SISU 2 has wrapped filming as of the end 2024. There is an expected Film release sometime later this year, 2025. Reportedly the budget for the sequel is more than two times the budget of the original, so it should be even more grandiose in it’s action and bloodshed. Jorma Tommilla returns as Aatami Korpa and Jalmari Helander is back directing. As far as the rest of the cast or storyline that is all we know, they reportedly kept a very tight lid on it to keep expectations high.
My expectations are very high…. I loved the first movie and Jorma Tommila and can’t wait for the Sequel. Bring it on Old Man!

Synopsis:
SISU: ROAD TO REVENGE is a wall-to-wall cinematic action event, a sequel to the original sleeper hit SISU. Returning to the house where his family was brutally murdered during the war, “the man who refuses to die” (Jorma Tommila) dismantles it, loads it on a truck, and is determined to rebuild it somewhere safe in their honor. When the Red Army commander who killed his family (Stephen Lang from DON’T BREATHE) comes back hellbent on finishing the job, a relentless, eye-popping cross-country chase ensues – a fight to the death, full of clever, unbelievable action set pieces.
