SISU is an excellent Finnish action movie whose only flaw is that the budget is too small. Imagine the carnage this guy could have wreaked with more money to hand! Still, we have to make do with what we get, and I think they've done an expert job with what they've got. This plays out as a WW2-era western, with a strong, silent, loan hero doing battle with a squad of Nazi goons headed by the typically excellent Aksel Hennie. The action is outlandishly gory and thoroughly enjoyable, the running time lean, the pacing tight, the narrative always creative and compelling. There's genuinely nothing to dislike about a film like this.
