Omerta 6/12 is a 2021 Finnish action thriller film directed by Aku Louhimies, based on Ilkka Remes' 2006 novel  [fi].[1] It tells the story of an attack planned by Serb terrorists on the Presidential Palace during the reception of Independence Day. The film was originally to be directed by Antti Jokinen but having fallen ill, Jokinen was replaced by Louhimies.[2] The film stars Jasper Pääkkönen as the main character Max Tanner, an agent representing SUPO in the European Union's Omerta special forces.[3][4] Other roles are played by Nanna Blondell, Sverrir Gudnason, Cathy Belton, Juhan Ulfsak, Dragomir Mrsic, Slaven Spanovic, Märt and Priit Pius, and Mirtel Pohla.[3]

The production of the film went through numerous issues, one being security problems which led to the then-director Jokinen not being allowed into the filming area. Louhimies having been replaced by Jokinen, the script was completely rewritten. The film was planned to be the first part of Omerta series which was supposed to consist of two films and a six-part tv series. Due to the film's troublesome production, the sequel was abandoned and the tv series was reduced into two episodes.[5]

The film premiered on 19 November 2021.[6]
