A bloody vendetta against Nazis, with FSK-18 action and a taciturn hero who just can’t be killed – what more could you want? Sisu – Revenge is Sweet is a surprise hit that’s great fun and is back in the home theater
In Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, a squad of American soldiers massacres the Nazis with relish. In Rambo, Sylvester Stallone takes out one enemy after another as a one-man army. The Finnish war and action film Sisu – Revenge is Sweet is a successful mixture of both: one man fights alone against a troop of Nazis and brutally slaughters one after the other.
Director Jalmari Helander’s surprise hit from 2022 was not only a hit at the box office. The home cinema edition was already sold out on Amazon, but is currently back in stock
In addition to the Blu-ray edition the DVD is also available to buy. Bonus material includes a making-of and a featurette about the special effects. The action film can also be streamed on Amazon Prime *
This is what the war film Sisu is about
Finland, 1944: The Red Army has defeated the Nazis and their allies, which is why the Wehrmacht stationed in the north is in retreat. A troop of soldiers encounters the lonely gold prospector Korpi (Jorma Tomilla), who has finally struck a vein of gold after years of searching.
(Sisu revenge is sweet)
For the company and the SS-Obersturmführer (Aksel Hennie), the old man seems like an easy target and they quickly take the treasure from him. But they have no idea what survival skills lie within the loner, who will let nothing stop him on his bloody quest for revenge
