John Wick meets Inglorious Basterds in this horrible mess

Cast: Jorma Tommila, Aksel Hennie, Jack Doolan, Onni Tommila, Mimosa Willamo, Tatu Sinisalo, Wilhelm Enckell

Rating: 1/5

The plot sounded fun. The start was kind of fun. The violence was cool. Where did it go wrong? There’s one redeeming quality to it, the violence is well done at least, the second redeeming quality being the gritty and grainy look of the film.

Deep in the wilderness of Lapland, Aatami Korpi is searching for gold but after he stumbles upon a Nazi patrol, a breath-taking and gold-hungry chase through the destroyed and mined Lapland wilderness begins.

The performances are as bad as they get, and the direction is worse than what you could expect. Notting else makes this watchable in any sense of the word. It mixes John Wick and Inglorious Basterds in the worst way you could possibly imagine. The backstory is somewhat developed but there is literally no head or tail. Something or the other keeps happening but nothing makes sense.

Jalmari Helander's direction is extremely bad as are the editing and performances. The cinematography is average but the color grade is good.

Sisu appears to be entertaining during the start but soon takes a wrong turn.
