Great Entertainment
At the risk of being accused of understatement, "Sisu" does have a few credibility problems. Plot holes? Swiss cheese does come to mind. However, we watch documentaries to be informed and movies to be entertained. This movie must be taken for what it is. But what is it? I don't think it fits neatly into any genre. As a war movie it comes with more than a hint of the spoof, even a comedic turn with a splash of magic realism. It is beautifully filmed and well-acted. I've watched it twice and enjoyed it more the second time because I knew what I was going to get. I'm scoring it 8 out of 10. My advice: Put aside all thoughts of credibility problems and Swiss cheese, grab a beer and some pizza, sit back and be entertained.
