Sisu: Road to Revengeย Remains 2025’s Best Action War Movie

Sony Pictures Releasing

Sisu: Road to Revenge brings back former Finnish prospector Aatami Korpi (Jorma Tommila), a man who battled a battalion of Nazis in northern Finland near the end of World War II in the first movie. In the sequel, he is back because he wants to return home, to the house where his family was brutally murdered during the war. However, as he prepares to move his dismantled old house, the man who killed his family, Soviet Red Army officer Yeagor Draganov (Stephen Lang), returns to finish the job. What results is a giant chase movie with explosions, gunfights, and brutal action scenes.

Critics loved the non-stop action ofย Sisu: Road to Revenge, awarding it a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score, while the audience score is slightly lower, but still great, 87%. Reviews praised the action and the creative kills, and some critics favorably compared it to Mad Max: Fury Road and John Wick: Chapter 4. When Sisu: Road to Revenge debuted on HBO Max, it shot straight to the number two spot, and on Netflix, it is only one position behind that, with the chance to move to number one based on word of mouth.

Sisu: Road to Revenge took home the Best International Film Award at the 53rd Annual Saturn Awards, and there is a chance that more could come. It is impressive to see the two action movies ranking so favorably for critics, but director Jalmari Helander is not sure that he will consider more, although he said that, for enough money, he would consider it. That said, Sisu: Road to Revenge offers a fitting conclusion to the story, and it is a film that all Netflix subscribers need to watch as a modern-day action movie masterpiece.
