Sisu - thatguy - 12-07-2025
i saw the trailer for the new one in the theater, so when I saw that the first one was available (in multiple places) I watched on Tubi, with ads.
They tell you at the beginning, and once, later in the film that “sisu” is an untranslatable finnish word that describes a sort of super-power state when you are deprived of everything. The story is about this guy that was fighting Russians during WW2. His entire family was killed and he went on a rampage and the Finnish army couldn’t control him, so he became an army of one. Flashforward to now, and he’s an old prospector working the fields with his dog and his horse, alone in a very beautiful landscape…its like a desert, but green. He finds the motherlode, packs up his haul and heads to civilization to cash in.
Meanwhile, the Nazis are losing and are destroying everything in their wake as they exit. The prospector crosses paths with a band of Nazis and hilarity ensues. I think this is where we get the phrase “Finnish him!” (See trailer below)
It’s very Tarrantino-esque. The prospector doesn’t say anything until the very last scene.

Been meaning to catch this one.
By Tarantino-esque, do you mean it dumps on Paul Dano?
