2023 had already brought us John Wick: Chapter 4, an action masterpiece starring Keanu Reeves, but just ahead of the summer blockbuster movie season, action fans got a surprise treat with the movie Sisu.
Hailing from Finnish writer/director Jalmari Helander, Sisu takes place in the final days of World War II and tells the story of an ex-soldier who discovers a massive vein of gold as he's mining. However, when he runs into a squad of Nazis they desperately try to take the gold from him, leading to a brutal battle between the soldiers and the highly skilled man who embodies the Finnish phrase "sisu" — meaning an unimaginable determination.
