The Finnish World War II action sequel Sisu: Road to Revenge is now streaming on NOW, earning praise from critics as a 'masterpiece' and 'Mad Max Fury Road on steroids.' The film has quickly climbed the streaming platform's Top 10.
Sequel Set After WWII Against the Soviets
Set in the immediate aftermath of World War II, the film follows the protagonist known as 'the man who refuses to die' (Jorma Tommila) as he returns to the house where his family was brutally murdered. He dismantles the home, loads it onto a truck, and sets out to rebuild it elsewhere in their honor. However, the Red Army commander who killed his family, played by Stephen Lang (Don't Breathe), returns to finish the job, sparking a relentless cross-country chase.
The official synopsis describes it as a 'wall-to-wall cinematic action event' with 'clever, unbelievable action set pieces.'
Critical Acclaim and Streaming Success
The original Sisu, released in 2024 and set during the Lapland War of 1944, was a sleeper hit that reached No. 1 on the Netflix UK film chart. Influenced by Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns and First Blood, the gory film received critical acclaim. The sequel has been hailed by some critics as a 'masterpiece,' according to reports.
Sisu: Road to Revenge is now available to stream exclusively on NOW.
