Sisu
Stand aside Rambo, here’s the one-man army to end them all! In Lapland, 1944, an old prospector exacts bloody revenge on Nazis who stole his gold.
Executed with dazzling modern flair while tipping its hat to no-nonsense action movies that dominated drive-ins in the ’70s and home video in the ’80s, Sisu is another triumph for Finnish filmmaker Jalmari Helander (Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale). Winner of Best Picture, Cinematography, Music and Best Actor (Jorma Tommila) at Sitges genre film festival, Helander’s thunderous revenge tale has an irresistible simplicity and purity of purpose. All we need for a rollicking non-stop thrill ride is to watch grizzled old geezer Aatami (Tommila) change from mild-mannered miner into an unstoppable fighting machine. These nasty Nazis picked on the wrong guy.
