Hurja välikohtaus Jalmari Helanderin uutuuselokuvan kuvauksissa – näyttelijä vertavaluvana tikattavaksi". Kun Aatamia vastaan rymistelee SS Obersturmführer Bruno Helldorfin (Aksel Hennie) johtama kolmekymmentä henkinen natsituhopartio, alkaa henkeäsalpaava ja kullanhimoinen takaa-ajo läpi tuhotun ja miinoitetun Lapin erämaan.

Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions acquired the film's worldwide distribution rights outside Nordic countries, [5] [6] [13] [14] and then decided to team with Lionsgate to release the film in North America. Audiences polled by PostTrak gave the film an 80% positive score, with 60% saying they would definitely recommend it.Sure, it was ridonculous and fun, but this could've easily been so much better had the filmmaker spent less time with the repetitive logic-defying suspension of disbelief with the outrageous confrontations and deadly fight scenes, and focused more on a singular theme and tone for the dramatics, with expanding on the narrative - instead of plugging in pointless chapters. While there is no direct translation for the Finnish word \”sisu\”, this legendary ex-commando will embody what sisu means: a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds.

Aatami enters a bank, where he approaches a teller and empties his satchels of gold before speaking for the first time, asking for bills in exchange for his gold in his own words "so the load won't be so damn heavy to carry. Jalmari Helander's extremely violent Nazi lynching film caused an extraordinary reaction in Hollywood". Aatami discovers that Rovaniemi has been left in burning ruins and takes shelter in the remains of a petrol station.

the maelstrom Aatami creates as he marauds his way through Nazi hordes to get to the bank (more or less, anyway). Even at a mere 91 min runtime and the decent pacing, there was barely a story here to make a short film, let alone 91 mins. On 1 August 2023, Japanese video game designer Hideo Kojima, best known for the Metal Gear video game series, posted a message on Twitter in which he highly praised the Sisu film, saying: "This is no longer a war movie. In late 1944 during the Lapland War, Aatami Korpi lives alone with his horse and faithful Bedlington Terrier while he prospects in the Lapland wilderness.
