5/24/2023 0 Comments Blood sweat and pixelFrom land mines being hurled to throats getting slit underwater to a man intentionally lighting himself on fire, Sisu isn’t afraid of being outrageous with its action. There’s rarely any dialogue at all, but there doesn’t need to be because Helander’s direction creates a tense, blood-pumping escapade full of outstanding action and stomach-churning gore. Much like Fury Road or John Wick: Chapter 4, Sisu‘s beauty is in its execution, not the intricacies of its plot. An orgy of violence that’s beautifully executed Things take a bloody turn for the worst, though, when a group of Nazis want to kill him and take his gold. Our protagonist, a Finnish ex-soldier named Aatami Korpi (Jorma Tommila), who rarely speaks, strikes literal gold in Finland’s wilderness and must venture into the city to cash in his treasure. The film, which clocks in at an efficient hour-and-a-half runtime, takes place in 1945, asthe Nazi regime is enacting a scorched-earth policy on Finland. In Sisu, Helander shows a deft hand at action in moderation. An orgy of violence that’s beautifully executed.
