“Sisu” was a very entertaining WW2-action movie in my opinion. For some reason, the Scandinavians can make really good content around WW2, and this was no exception. 2023 really is a year where WW2 and action mix with a quest for gold, judging by the German release of “Blood and Gold” around the same time. Both films are quite good in my view. Finland is a complicated case in WW2, they were allied with Germany for most of it, until mid-1944, so only by the end did they fight the Germans as well. Simply put, they saw the Soviet-Union as the bigger threat, which makes sense considering Stalin’s Winter War in 1939-1940 against Finland. All I can say is that the Finns were very tough soldiers, so the main character’s hard badassery is not even exaggerated. Great review of a great movie, nice job!
Fine review! Again you convinced me. This is a movie I certainly want to watch!
