"Sisu"

 2022 * R * 1h 31m If you're up for an over the top action movie, you'll absolutely love this flick. The lead character is sort of a John Wick on steroids. If you can imagine that. 

The movie takes place during the closing days of WWII. Our hero Aatami (Jorma Tommila) is a hardened Finnish veteran living in the far north of the country. One day, he strikes gold and manages to unearth a couple large satchels of the valuable mineral. On his way to the big city, he encounters a platoon of German soldiers. They're fleeing the battleground, hoping to make it to freedom. When they encounter Aarami and his stash, they figure it'll help pay their way after the war ends. 

Well, they picked the wrong guy to take on. He's famous for the huge number of Russian soldiers he's already killed. He a one-man army, to say the least.And he's not going to let a band of Nazis get in his way. The whole rest of the movie is him battling the Germans in countless different ways. Some of the scenes are just unbelievable. But if you're into Nazi-killing themed movies, this one's for you. I don't think I need to warn you, there are a ton of bloody scenes. This film is not for the squeamish!

4 out of 5 stars

Currently streaming on Hulu and to rent on Apple TV, Amazon, and a bunch of other streaming services.
