Tubi Thursday: Sisu (2022)

 Is this the glorious Grindhouse Action Thriller that I was promised?

Let's find out (just in time for a Sequel I'm just now learning about) ...

Sisu is apparently a Finnish word for 'deep, uncontrollable rage.'

So how does it relate to this poor Gold Miner just waiting for WWII to end in 1944?

Well, after striking it rich, he goes back home.

Along the way, he's hassled by a bunch of Nazis who plan to rob him.

It ends...poorly for them.

The other group he passed on the way double back and now he's got lots of enemies, including ones with a tank!

In spite of their best efforts, they can't seem to kill him.

Just like, in spite of everyone's best efforts, it's hard not to get a little bit of Fury Road into your Action Films in the last Decade.

Can they take him down?
Is one man enough to survive a small Platoon of history's greatest henchmen?

To find out, stream it now.

A Film that just plain works.

It's a simple tale.  Man meets Nazis.  Man kills Nazis.

What more do you need?

Our Hero is built up nicely, with you seeing that there is clearly more going on with him before the action starts.
He turns out to be as creative as he is unwilling to die.  He doesn't overpower his foes with ease.

The Film is full of visceral gore and violence.  If you heard anything about how violent this can be, they didn't warn you enough.

If you're willing to embrace the whole experience- the mud, the vengeance and the gore-, the Film works very well.

I had legit forgot about this one after its original release and my desire to see it was renewed when I saw it on here.
I'm glad that I did.

Take us out, Japan and, as always, a kick ass cover.

A bloody good time, provided you give it time to build.  It's a mix of John Wick and Rambo in Finland which hits just right.
