Underrated ‘John Wick v Nazis’ World War 2 film finally gets sequel release date | Films | Entertainment

Earlier this year, Daily Express ranked the Top 10 most underrated World War 2 films of all time.

And among the titles was a hidden gem from Finland, in what many dubbed as John Wick vs the Nazis.

The 2022 action thriller, which went on to hit No 1 on Netflix UK film chart, is set during 1944’s Lapland War.

Sisu follows a Finnish Army commando turned gold prospector attempting to defend himself from being robbed and murdered by a Waffen-SS platoon.

Influenced by the Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone and Rambo First Blood, this gory flick received critical acclaim upon release and is now getting a sequel.

Written and directed once again by Jalmari Helander, Susi 2 stars Jorma Tommila once again as Aatami Korpi, the gold prospector. Sisu: Road to Revenge co-stars Avatar villain Stephen Lang and Richard Brake.

The official synopsis reads: “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 honour. When the Red Army commander who killed his family (Stephen Lang) 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.”

Sisu: Road to Revenge hits cinemas on November 21, 2025.
