Sisu (2022) – A Relentless Finnish Fury
Set during the final days of World War II, Sisu (2022) delivers a gritty, blood-soaked action spectacle that combines silent resilience with explosive brutality. The film follows Aatami Korpi, a lone Finnish prospector who stumbles upon a cache of gold deep in Lapland. But his journey home is interrupted when a band of retreating Nazi soldiers led by a sadistic SS officer decides to steal his treasure.
What they don’t know is that Aatami is no ordinary man—he’s a former soldier with an unkillable spirit and a ruthless skillset. As the Nazis push forward, Aatami strikes back with a mix of silent rage and shocking violence, turning Finland’s frozen wilderness into a war zone.
With minimal dialogue and maximum impact, Sisu thrives on its brutal visuals, intense pacing, and a fearless lead performance by Jorma Tommila. It’s a grindhouse gem with the soul of John Wick, the grit of Rambo, and the icy heart of northern Europe.
Rating: 8.2/10
Brutal. Relentless. Visually stunning.
