This Is the Balls-to-the-Wall Action Extravaganza of the Holidays

Heroes slaying authoritarian villains is one of cinema’s most time-honored traditions, and it’s continued by Sisu: Road to Revenge (November 21, in theaters), in which Jorma Tommila’s unkillable Finnish commando faces off against the sadistic Soviets who murdered his family.

Trading Third Reich scoundrels for Red Army savages, Jalmari Helander’s sequel to his under-the-radar 2021 hit is another John Wick-by-way-of-Mad Max: Fury Road bloodbath featuring more severed heads and exploded bodies than just about any other 2025 release. Grindhousers don’t come much funnier, crazier, and more grindhouse-y than this.
