Review of Sisu

Sisu (2022)
8/10
Don't mess with the Finns
29 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The story of a tough old Finn who discovers gold in Lapland towards the end of the war only to have it stolen by a detachment of SS soldiers fleeing to Norway. However, they crossed paths with the wrong man. He may not be immortal but he certainly does a good impression of it. Having survived brutality dished out by the SS soldiers, his sheer determination pushes him forward to extract his own brutal revenge. Turns out even the toughest SS are no match for the formidable Korpi.

I liked the sweeping isolated landscapes of Lapland combined with the gritty realism. It has an edgy low budget feel which leans more towards independent than mainstream. Possibly a future cult classic. Not for the squeamish.
