Actors: Jorma Tommila, Aksel Hennie, Jack Doolan, Mimosa Willamo and Onni Tommila
Rating: 10 out of 10, This is one case where the preview lives
up to the final product. Sisu is just flat, psychotically great. A former
Finnish commando who retired to mine gold is trying to make his way to the bank
with his gold when he runs across a German SS unit retreating through Lapland
near the end of WW2. The Nazis make the mistake of trying to take the gold away
from him. He turns out to be the Finnish version of John Wick and is basically
unkillable, although Nazis try and try. This is not a movie for the faint of
heart as the German deaths range from comically funny to incredibly brutal.
There was also a barbed wire suturing session I could have done without. A
surpassingly great movie, beautifully shot in the north of Finland with a
superb cast, especially the lead actor. So good.
MVP:
Tommila as the incredibly dangerous and inventive Koschei
