Sisu (2022), directed by Jalmari Helander, is a relentless action masterpiece set in 1944 Finland. Jorma Tommila stars as Aatami Korpi, a grizzled gold prospector and ex-commando who embodies “sisu” – indomitable grit. When Nazi soldiers steal his gold and leave him for dead, Aatami unleashes hell, taking on an SS platoon with savage ingenuity. The stark Lapland wilderness, captured by Kjell Lagerroos’ stunning cinematography, sets a gritty stage for explosive battles and creative kills.

Aksel Hennie and Jack Doolan add menace as Nazi foes, while the lean 91-minute runtime keeps the adrenaline pumping. Helander blends Rambo-style heroics with dark humor, delivering a bloody, satisfying underdog tale. Sisu is a visceral, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride that celebrates unbreakable spirit!
