Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJalmari Helander was originally going to direct a comedic sci-fi film "Jerry and Ms Universe" in Canada as his next project after Big Game (2014). When it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he quickly wrote Sisu (2022) in the fall of 2021. The film's budget was $6.5 million.
- GoofsThe 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.
Featured review
This was a pleasant surprise! We have Tarantino-inspired bloody action, silent and very charismatic protagonist, beautiful imaginery from actual locations in Lapland, really good soundtrack and some innovative fighting and survival scenes, and of course Finnish Sisu.
Jorma Tommila as the leading man does a phenomenal job. He has only one line in the whole movie (an instant classic), but he is acting very well just by using his face and body.
"He is not immortal, he just refuses to die."
Congratulations for the writer/director Jalmari Helander, the movie looks really good, flows forward easily and is overall very cool and original, despite the overused tropes of evil nazis and action. With just 6 million budget this looks much bigger.
Some nitpicks: the nazis speak English, even when talking with each other, which is kind of weird. But it makes sense for scenes with some Finns.
I really hope this gets much views all over the world.
Don't take the movie or events too seriously, just enjoy the ride :)
