I found myself liking this film, though you should be aware that it requires a willingness to suspend disbelief. The story centers on a man named "Aatami" (Jorma Tommila), who having already endured a harsh WWII experience, has retreated to the isolated Finnish wilderness to search for gold. As he prepares to leave with his discovery, he runs into a group of disheveled Nazi soldiers led by "Bruno" (Aksel Hennie). Initially indifferent to him, their attention is caught when gunfire and explosions occur nearby, leading to a dangerous pursuit. The concept of “Sisu” describes someone who isn't invincible but possesses an unwavering refusal to give up – and Aatami embodies this trait perfectly. He faces knives, bullets, landmines, and even hanging, yet death seems reluctant to claim him! Will he manage to deposit his gold? While the film is violent, I perceived it as surprisingly humorous. Body parts are scattered about, but not in a frightening or threatening manner. At times, the action sequences were genuinely amusing—particularly when the female prisoners get a chance for some satisfying retribution. The narrative unfolds with a blend of Guy Ritchie and Sergio Leone’s styles, presented episodically, which works effectively for roughly the first hour. However, the latter portion declines as the film – already questionable in its believability – veers into "A-Team" territory. There isn't much to say about the dialogue—which is perhaps a positive thing; and the action unfolds rapidly within a production that vividly portrays the starkness of the setting and the resilience of those with humanity.
