During the last desperate days of WWII, a solitary prospector crosses paths with Nazis on a scorched-earth retreat in northern Finland. When the Nazis steal his gold, they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner. While there is no direct translation for the Finnish word "sisu", this legendary ex-commando will embody what sisu means: a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds. And no matter what the Nazis throw at him, the one-man death squad will go to outrageous lengths to get his gold back - even if it means killing every last Nazi in his path.
"Recalling (and quite a lot!) the story of Blood and Gold, the original German Netflix film, Sisu precisely tells the story of a former soldier who discovers gold in the wild lands of Lapland and, while trying to transport the product to the city, is fought against by Nazi soldiers led by a ruthless SS officer. It's a well-made action movie, with scenes that will leave any genre fan breathless during the most intense moments. But the real standout is Jorma Tommila (Rare Exports), who has a striking physical presence and excels in various genres."
