Resumen
Reviewers say 'Sisu' is an action-packed, gory film set in 1944 Finland, showcasing a prospector's relentless fight against Nazis for his gold. Praised for its cinematography, special effects, and brutal combat, it blends action, dark humor, and Finnish culture. However, some criticize the protagonist's unrealistic survival feats and lack of character depth. Despite mixed views on narrative and realism, it's generally seen as an entertaining, over-the-top action film.

Quirky is an understatement.
I spent a bit of time deliberating of this one. Did I like it, yes or no, was it any good yes or no?
In the end I fell on the positive side to the scales.
I was entertained (eventually) which I guess it the aim of the game.
It took a while to get there though.
I ws taking the film a little too seriously at first so I was finding the movie frustrating, once I changed my approach to the movie and took it for the absurdity that it is then I started to enjoy it.
So the first half of the movie is a bit of a dud but the second half I felt was much better and had some slightly classic scenes :)

For as much as there is to like about Sisu, and there is a lot, the film does ask the viewer in equal parts to continuously suspend reality. Sisu is at its best in close quarters combat, when the fists and knives take center. The cinematography plays with the vast landscapes and camera techniques (one forced perspective shot of a tank staring down the gold prospector left me awestruck). The brisk runtime of 91 minutes ensures there aren't many lulls between Nazi blood being spilled. There is copious gore from both Nazis and our protagonist's unwilling desire to die. There are even damsels in distress.
I cannot say Sisu is exactly what I expected from the trailer, because truth be told, I wasn't expecting mimicry sequences of Mission Impossible hanging from a plane, Rambo stalking with a survival knife, or the other half dozen far-fetched antics. The film's unwilling desire to never take itself too seriously is both why it works so good, and perhaps what ultimately keeps it from being even better...

Heard this movie was an awesome old school action movie so checked it out, and it is good. Even if it is very over the top.
On the plus side the movie gives the audience what its been starved off. Brutal, adult action with minimal CGI. And with plenty of lines like "we're lucky he didn't kill more of us" it'll put a smile on your face if you miss 80's/90's style action.
On the negative side all the bad guys are terrible shots, and the hero is almost indestructible. Which maybe takes a bit of suspence out of the movie. Especially at the end. Much like modern superhero movies then? At least it got it half right.

I had fun watching this, therefore, i recommend it. However, you should know that it's not remotely realistic and convincing. In fact, Superman is more vulnerable than our hero here. This doesn't look like a comedy but it feels like a comedy. At its core, this movie is pure comedy.
Pace was not very good for a 90 minutes movie. And it's shallow, everything here is shallow and naive.
But it was entertaining. Ok, suspension of disbelief is fully required in order to enjoy it. And you will enjoy it if you like this genre. Movie's hero was very likeable, you root for him all the way. Good action and fights. Well acted for sure even though these were cartoonish characters. In conclusion, it's always nice watching bad guys get slaughtered!

Sisu is about a gold miner who finds the richest of golds in an underground pit. He must trade the gold for cash to a bank. Although, he lives thousands of miles away from a bank and must travel on foot. On the way there, he encounters German Nazis along the way who want to steal it from him. He must fight throughout all of them in order to deposit his gold.
The first impressions of Sisu gave me that it was a bloody, fun, and good time of a gold miner killing Nazis. Since John Wick was heavily inspired by director, Jalmari Helander, that this movie is basically the German 1940's war version of John Wick. Jorma Tommila's (main protagonist) acting skills were badass from his creative surviving skills to kill the Nazis. The deaths were entertaining with the special effects and CGI of them. Overall, Sisu is good with its acting, kills, and story. I would recommend Sisu in theaters for a good action watch.

¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaOne of the inspirations for the film was the real WWII sharpshooter Simo Häyhä who fought against the Red Army and who is believed to have killed over 500 enemy soldiers during the Winter War, which is why he is often regarded as the deadliest sniper of all time, known as the "White Death."
- ErroresThe anti-tank mines are triggered in turn by the horse, a rock, and humans. The most often used German T-Mi 35 antitank mine was triggered by a load of 440 lbs (190 kg) in the center, or 220 lbs (100 kg) on the edge of the pressure cover.
