SISU 2 (2024) – You Can’t Kill What Refuses to Die

They thought he buried the war. Turns out, he just buried the bodies.

SISU 2 (2024) explodes back onto the screen with even more grit, gore, and grim determination than its cult-hit predecessor. Picking up after the brutal events of the first film, this sequel once again follows Aatami Korpi—the nearly mythical Finnish one-man army who survived Nazis, landmines, hangings, and hell itself. Only this time, he’s not fighting for gold… he's fighting for something far more dangerous: peace.

Months after single-handedly annihilating an entire Nazi platoon in the Arctic wilderness, Aatami tries to live quietly in the snowy forests of Lapland. But trouble, as always, finds him. When a group of black-market war profiteers descends on a nearby village—trafficking stolen art, weapons, and survivors—Aatami is dragged into a conflict that threatens to reignite the very war he thought he left behind.

Led by a sadistic ex-Gestapo commander turned mercenary warlord, the villains mistake Aatami for a mere relic of the war. They don't realize they’ve provoked the return of death itself. As Aatami embarks on a trail of vengeance that spans frozen lakes, burning churches, and collapsing bunkers, the sequel doubles down on the wordless savagery, inventive kills, and defiant, pulpy style that made Sisu an instant classic.

Once again, he barely speaks. He just kills. Efficiently. Creatively. Brutally. And always gets back up.

Directed by Jalmari Helander, Sisu 2 maintains its lean runtime and grindhouse charm, blending deadpan Finnish humor with outrageous violence. The cinematography is as cold and sharp as Aatami’s blade, with blood staining snow like war poetry. And underneath all the carnage is a quiet question: What does a man who’s lost everything do when he has nothing left to protect—except the idea that evil must be stopped, no matter how many times it returns?
