Audiences and film critics have heaped praise on Finnish-American war film Sisu: Road to Revenge, applauding its gory action and incredible visuals.

Released in late November, the Sisu sequel sees Jorma Tommila return as Aatami Korpi, "the man who refuses to die", who comes home avenge his family who were murdered in cold blood by Russian commander Igor Draganov, played by a steely Stephen Lang.

Jalmari Helander directs an explosive cross-country pursuit where Aatami, a Finnish commando, pursues Draganov across Finland and into Russia . The film is full of action set-pieces, involving train cars, ballistic missiles, and catapulting tanks.

Not for the faint of heart, viewers can expect plenty of blood and guts. One scene sees Aatami bury a knife blade in his own wounded leg.
