“Some land isn’t for sale.” Sisu 2 (2026) takes audiences back to the frigid, unforgiving landscape of the north, where Aatami Korpi (played by Jorma Tommila) has left behind a life of violence, seeking solace in the peaceful, quiet life of reindeer herding. The war is over, and the bloodshed buried beneath the snow. But peace, as Aatami soon learns, attracts greed. When a mining company discovers valuable minerals beneath his land, they dismiss Aatami’s reputation and the legend that surrounds him as mere myth. But they are gravely mistaken.

The company’s decision to send mercenaries to silence Aatami sparks a brutal, unrelenting confrontation that quickly escalates into a fight for survival—one that will prove just how wrong they were. What follows is a brutal and relentless final act—a 55-minute sequence set in the heart of the polar night, where the only things colder than the snow are the mercenaries who will learn firsthand that Aatami’s legend isn’t something to be dismissed.

The final act is a silent, no-mercy rampage, as Aatami Korpi fights to protect his land—not for vengeance, but because some things are simply not meant to be owned. The action is relentless: dogsleds race through whiteout blizzards, tanks break through frozen lakes, and the land turns crimson as Aatami sets his sights on the invaders. As the battle unfolds, it becomes clear that Aatami Korpi is not a man to be underestimated. His legend, forged in blood, will return with a vengeance.

In a haunting final image, the CEO of the mining company meets his fate in a grotesque display: his coat draped over a scarecrow made from the frozen bodies of mercenaries, a chilling, unspoken warning to anyone who dares to tread on the land Aatami swore to protect. This dark and poetic moment speaks volumes, encapsulating the core of Aatami’s fierce battle and unwavering resolve.

Review:
Sisu 2 is a violent, poetic journey that explores themes of ownership, legacy, and the lengths one man will go to protect what is his. Jorma Tommila brings an unmatched intensity to the role of Aatami Korpi, a man of few words but unmatched determination and brutal efficiency. Aksel Hennie, Onni Tommila, and Jack Doolan add solid support, portraying the ruthless mercenaries who quickly learn that Aatami’s legend is not something to be trifled with.

The cinematography captures the icy, harsh beauty of the northern landscape, with the brutal cold and vast, desolate wilderness adding to the tension and isolation of the story. The silence of the final act—coupled with the savage violence—makes it all the more chilling, as the viewer is left to feel every punch, every moment of cold vengeance, and the quiet determination of a man fighting for his land and his legacy.

Verdict:
Sisu 2 shows that some legends aren’t just stories—they’re warnings. The film blends action, thriller, and drama seamlessly, with an unforgettable final act that is both brutal and hauntingly beautiful. It’s a film that proves that even in the coldest, most desolate of places, the fight for what’s right can burn with an intensity that refuses to be extinguished. A cinematic masterpiece.

Score: 10/10 – A violent and poetic journey that leaves its mark on the soul. This film proves that some legends are waiting to return.
