Story: Sisu starts when Aatami (Tommila) discovers gold in Lapland. Upon trying to return home, he clashes with a group of Nazi soldiers who are being forced to flee. Bruno (Hennie) decides his unit must track down Aatami. However, they are not prepared for what they will face next.

Verdict on Sisu
Sisu is a brutal action war movie following a Finnish ex-soldier taking on a unit of Nazi soldiers. It follows them ruthlessly trying to track him down and him overcome the odds. But how far will they go for the gold he has discovered?
This is an action movie that never holds back on anything. It has some of the most brutal kills in any movie of 2023. Even if the story is kept pretty simple, the brutality is what makes this stand out. If you thought John Wick was brutal, this takes things to a completely new level. If you want to watch the most brutal action movie of the year, look no further than this.
