The Nature of War

Tuntematon sotilas (Unknown soldier) tells us the story of the Continuation War - a war between Finland (sided by some German troops) against the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1944 during World War II. We follow through these years a unit of Finnish soldiers with the focus on some characters. What we get are some well made and rather realistic combat scenes, some even funny moments of peace and rest between the battles - all supported by an superb playing cast and a top production. A must-see that beats every Hollywood war movie of recent years. Strong.
