The new fictional World War II movie "Sisu: Road to Revenge" is not really a movie, but more of a series of violent action scenes with one man from Finland trying to get revenge against the entire German army. The reason for Aatami's (Jorma Tommila) revenge trek, other than his country being invaded by Germany is not very clear, not that this matters in an unusual movie like this one.
The action scenes are almost all crazy, impossible, and insane, almost as off-the-wall as the inane action scenes in the latest Fast and Furious movies. The other obvious issue is that no human being can be injured as severely as Aatami and still be alive.
The only known actor in this foreign film is Stephen Lang, who plays the German leader trying to kill Aatami. There is an extremely violent fight scene at the end of this movie that is both impossible to describe and violates all laws of physics and basic logic. This last scene is the entire movie in a nutshell.
This movie is difficult to review, so I will agree with the very high 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but only for the intense war action scenes. I will give this movie only 50% for its very limited screenplay and almost no dialogue. I recommend this film only for those who enjoy gratuitous violent action scenes and don't mind a lack of a story.
