This movie was just what the doctor ordered after the half-hearted, too cool for school crap I've seen out of Hollywood recently.
Sisu requires a major suspension of disbelief, but the spirit, imagery, and the grizzled but still vital protagonist make it something you'll want to do.
Think of it as kind of a Finnish John Wick with Nazis and gold, and you've got the essence of it.
The acting is generally top notch, and all the characters are believable within Sisu's little universe. The plot moves along and the movie knows when to stop. A good thing when Hollywood these days is stretching every movie well past the point the story requires.
Is it really a nine in terms of craft? No, but I felt like a nine was by the end of the movie. Good job.
