"Spy Games "/ "History is Made at Night" (1999) is a decent movie that is set in Finland - therefore largely filmed in Finland. Bill Pullman starring. I remember him in some press event for the movie commenting how he was amazed how the doors in Finland sound with a heavy "ka-thunk" when they close. (Yes, those are the kinds of tidbits that stay in my head from quarter of a century ago.)
Finnish "bio" is from Swedish, where "biograf" means 'cinema'. Swedish "biograf" means also 'biographer', and 'biography' is "biografi" ('biography' is "elämäkerta" in Finnish). Raseborg (Raasepori) is, as said, somewhat difficult because there is no centre called "Raseborg". The centre is Ekenäs (Tammisaari), and the other former municipal centres are Karis (Karjaa), Pojo (Pohja), Tenala (Tenhola), Bromarv (no Finnish name) and Snappertuna (no Finnish name). Then there are the ruins of Raseborg Castle (in former Snappertuna), where the current municipality took its name. Once again, Google don't show, with their nigh limitless potential, the street name -- this time "Keinusaarentie" -- unless you zoom really close.
Raseborg is the name of the municipality that has 2 centers: Ekenäs and Karis (Tammisaari and Karjaa in Finnish). That's why there's no Raseborg on the map as there's no town with that name.
Also, films Telefon (1977), directed by Don Siegel and starring Charles Bronson, and Reds (1981), directed and starring by Warren Beatty, were both partly filmed in Helsinki and elsewhere in Finland (as their purpose are to represent the Soviet Union). And then there is also Dual (2022), directed by Riley Stearns and starring by Karen Gillan, which was filmed entirely in Tampere.
Nice map, thanks to the creator of it and thank you for amusing challenge. Raseborg/Raasepori was formed in 2009 when munipalities of Ekenäs, Karis and Pohja were consolidated to a single municipality. They chose that historical name from the medieval castle ruins that are in Snappertuna village between Ekenäs and Karis. The municipality has Swedish speaking majority as you could see from the streetsigns.
I recognised the last one as Kuopio because of two stores: the Carlson department store and the Partanen toy store, which used to be the biggest toy store in Finland. Both of these are exceptional stores because they have managed to be around for a very long time but haven't needed to join any bigger chain. Carlson started maybe 150 years ago, Partanen in 1966. I remember that Partanen was one of my favorite places when I was a kid back in the 1970s and 80s because it was HUGE compared to other places that sold toys. A lot of smaller stores have been sucked into the K-group or S-group over the years, or have been bought by international companies, but these two have somehow managed to be successful on their own. Nowadays they both have stores also elsewhere but they both started out in Kuopio.
Thanks for watching! Kiitos katsomisesta!

There's an incredible burger place in that Kuopio mall

My favorite Finnish movies are "The Unknown Soldier (2017)" which is pretty famous and a less known movie "Master Cheng (2019)"

Yeah, you can't find Raasepori, Sastamala or Akaa on a map.

Finnkino is actually owned by american AMC
Ekenäs throws you off because there are multiple town centers in the town of Raseborg.
Yeah, even in maps they don't mention Raasepori. Tricky dicky.
Watch the movie:Sisu.
Pretty new and action packed.
The Jackal (1997) was partly filmed in Porvoo. "Bio" comes from "Biogarf", a Swedish word for Cinema or Movie Theater

Rare Exports is a decent Finnish Christmas / horror movie. It usually comes up when you search for the most well known Finnish movies.
Pretty easy game this time, managed to do 3 rounds without moving, and the other two with just moving one or two blocks at most.
