If you\u2019re an action junkie, chances are few films in recent years have caught your attention like\u00a0Sisu<\/a>. The stripped-down Finnish revenge saga saw Jorma Tommila\u2019s lonely prospector Aatami go absolutely berserker when he was set upon by a troop of Nazis \u2013 who soon discovered that their elderly foe was not to be messed with. The results were spectacularly gory, hilariously outlandish, and full of creativity. Now, with sequel\u00a0Sisu: Road To Revenge, Aatami is back \u2013 this time battling the Red Army after the end of World War II, with an even more personal mission.<\/p>\n

While the first\u00a0Sisu\u00a0saw Aatami holding tightly to the gold nuggets he\u2019d panned, here he has a much larger item to protect. \u201cHe\u2019s trying to transport his own home, which is\u00a0really\u00a0emotional cargo \u2014 and much more difficult to move around than a bag of gold, so the action is bigger and the stakes higher,\u201d returning writer-director Jalmari Helander tells\u00a0Empire.<\/p>\n

With a new batch of Soviet baddies to dispatch \u2013 led by Stephen Lang\u2019s dastardly Igor Draganov \u2013 Aatami is set to unleash a cavalcade more off-the-wall kills. Helander promises he hasn\u2019t run out of outlandish executions. \u201cI changed the Nazis to different bad guys!\u201d he grins. \u201cSo, I somehow found a lot of cool ways again. I don\u2019t know why my brain is good at thinking of something like that, but that\u2019s my superpower.\u201d Long may that power continue.<\/p>\n
