Attack on Finland

Finland's Independence Day reception at the Presidential Palace is violently interrupted when armed attackers seize the building and take the country's political leadership hostage. Max Tanner of the Security Police is brought in to negotiate with the group holding the guests, but the siege turns out to be one piece of a larger operation aimed at destabilising security across Europe. The standoff forces Tanner into difficult choices as he tries to protect the hostages.

Directed by Aku Louhimies and written by Jari Rantala, the film is a Finnish-Estonian action thriller with a budget of eight million US dollars. It was released in November 2021 and runs 115 minutes. Jasper Pääkkönen plays Tanner, with Nanna Blondell, Sverrir Gudnason, Cathy Belton, Nika Savolainen and Pertti Sveholm among the cast. It sits between Unknown Soldier (2017) and The Wait (2022) in Louhimies's filmography, which also includes Restless, Frozen Land, Man Exposed and Lapland War.

Reception has been modest. On IMDb it holds a rating of 5.3 out of 10 from around 2,400 votes, and on TMDB a rating of 5.6 out of 10 from 79 votes, indicating limited but measurable interest in the film from viewers on both platforms.
