Sisu

It's all very silly, but it's so over-the-top that it becomes blissfully entertaining.

Rather than being directed to avert your gaze from the effects of violence, you’re watching it magnified to the point of the cartoonish. It’s lavishly embellished with blood and gore. Talk about a guilty pleasure.

Sisu is as good as you’ve heard – bring extra popcorn.

Styled as a midnight movie, Sisu makes terrific use of limited military hardware and a forbidding Lapland landscape. In common with 1980s actioners, there’s additional fun to be had treating gaping injuries on Tommila’s hardened, wiry physique.

For all the pleasure viewers may take in the sight of nameless Nazis being dispatched and dismembered, they may be surprised by the film’s solemnity, too.

Sometimes all you want is a grizzled Finnish gold prospector relentlessly slaughtering cartoon evil Nazis in a variety of inventive and messy ways.

Laconic as its protagonist, the film deploys a choreographed and stylized display of viscera and blood-dripping limbs to create something like “A Thousand and One Ways to Die in War.” [Full review in Spanish]

The film is only 93 minutes long but every 15 minutes takes us to a new chapter. What catches your eye is the spectacular cinematography by Kjell Lagerroos. The film also enjoys being barbaric and brutal, it makes bloodshed looks beautiful.

Nazi-killing has never felt so frustratingly dull.
