Sisu (2022)
In the scorched Lapland wilds of 1944, grizzled prospector Aatami Korpi (Jorma Tommila) unearths a fortune in gold—only for a Nazi platoon to snatch it, igniting a one-man apocalypse. This ex-commando embodies “sisu”: unyielding Finnish grit that turns machine guns, tanks, and brutality into a symphony of vengeance. Blood sprays like Lapland rain, heads roll in slow-mo glory.
Jalmari Helander’s pulp fever dream mashes John Wick’s balletic kills with Tarantino’s Nazi-slaying glee—minimal dialogue, maximal mayhem. Tommila’s stoic fury anchors the absurdity, while Aksel Hennie’s sneering SS officer chews scenery like jerky. Cinematography carves frozen hellscapes into art, the score a pounding war drum. Over-the-top? Utterly. Unapologetic? Gloriously.
A delirious gore-soaked joyride that redefines revenge—pure, primal catharsis.
