REVIEW: 'Sisu,' the Finnish WWII exploitation movie, pits a prospector against a platoon of Nazis. What happens next is pure over-the-top, gory, pulp-cinema chaos.
Finland began World War II by fighting off the Soviet forces that tried to invade the country in the” from 1939 to 1940. They were conscripted by the Axis powers to fight alongside Hitler’s army until 1944, the year of the Moscow Armistice — that treaty not only allied Finnish troops with the Russians, it started a major campaign that sought to drive the Nazis out of the country once and for all.
The Germans are still running rampant throughout Finland, even though the end of the conflict is practically in sight. None of that particularly concerns a Finnish prospector who’s scouring the countryside for gold — especially when his pickaxe hits something flinty and bright deep in the earth, and he realizes he’s stumbled across the mother lode. Gathering as many nuggets as his rucksacks can hold, the man sets out for the nearest city to deposit his findings.
