I watch Sisu again over the weekend as it has just dropped onto Netflix UK.

Still think it is a great film albeit a bit far fetched at the end it is still an enjoyable way to watch Nazis getting killed in interesting ways. Jorma Tommila plays Aatami Korpi the almost completely silent hero who is now a miner but was a Finnish Commando in the Winter War (1939-40) against the Russians, killing hundreds of Russian Troops and earning the nickname from the Red Army of Koshchei (The Immortal).

The plot is pretty simple, the nazis are very bad, the dog is adorable and the ending quite ridiculous. Written and directed by Jalmari Helander most famous for Big Game where Samuel L Jackson plays the POTUS, it is very Tartantino-esque and the young Fin and POTUS rescuer in Big Game gets a role in Sisu, this time as the nazi tank driver. Also gets a thumbs up from me for being 90 minutes long, which I will admit is not Tarantino like at all but means I don't get DVT from sitting down to watch a movie!!

Wow ! Had never heard of this movie but absolutely fantastic was a throwback to High Plains Drifter, John Wick, Luc Busson’s Leon and every Tarantino movie

Leave your brain outside pull up a chair grab the popcorn and dim the lights

Thanks for recommending
