The Top-Charting Thriller On VOD Is a Nazi-Murdering Bloodbath

This historical action-thriller is currently one of the most rented movies on VOD, according to the Amazon charts. This Finnish war film came out last year but is still upsetting viewers who watch it. The movie we have our eye on this week is Sisu, and here’s everything you need to know about it. 

Rotten Tomatoes Synopsis

“During the last desperate days of WWII, a solitary prospector (Jorma Tommila) 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.”

Sisu was written and directed by Jalmari Helander. It stars Jorma Tommila, Aksel Hennie, Jack Doolan, Mimosa Willamo, and Onni Tommila.

It seems like a haunting tale that is often punctuated by extremely brutal and bloody scenes. Many reviewers mention the movie’s violence and specifically the dismemberment of Nazis. If this seems like your kind of party, then check out the trailer below.
