This week, we dig into Sisu (2023)—the Finnish pulp-action blast where one man, a pickaxe, and a whole lot of grit take on the Nazi war machine. Recommended to us by filmmaker Jeff Wolfe (Outbreak, 2024), Sisu blends brutal, inventive violence with breathtaking cinematography, creating a mythic folk-hero story that feels like John Wick collided with a spaghetti Western. We talk about why this kind of lean, violent cinema works, the appeal of watching Nazis get torn apart on screen, and whether “sisu” as a concept makes the film resonate beyond its bloody spectacle.
If you like your action raw, stylish, and more about grit than words—this one’s for you.
