Ukkonen (2001) User Reviews

Entertaining short film

[jeps57 · 8/10 · 4 January 2004]

Ukkonen (means Thunder) is a short film about a man called Ukkonen who was turned into a radioactive man in an accident in the Generator Corporation research plant, company secretly designing radioactive weapons with an energy business as a cover. Ukkonen starts his crusade to bring the company down and get his revenge.

Nice quality for an independent production, even some special effects and some funny, overdramatic monologue by Ukkonen. Unfortunately the film is very short, lasting only about 20 minutes.

Worth checking out if you somehow find this film.

Rare action-flick from Finland

Ukkonen is a rather unique Finnish movie in that it is mostly action-based and surprisingly good at that too. One of the reasons for surpassing Finnish competitors (huh? are there really any to notice?) is perhaps the independent funding. A good but really too short movie.
