Jalmari Helander, known on the festival circuit thanks to the fun ‘Rare Exports: A Thug Christmas Story’ (2010), presents the violent trailer of ‘Sisu’, the best film of Sitges 2023 full of dead Nazis.

“Bloody, forceful and with the subtlety of an ice pick, it is quite a whim, a joy for the primary senses that are activated when, in fiction, a villain receives what he deserves in the most savage way, over and over again,” we assured. in our review of ‘Sisu’ from the Sitges Festival, in which it won the awards for best actor (Jorma Tommila), cinematography (Kjell Lagerroos), original soundtrack (Juri Seppä, Tuomas Wäinölä) and, yes, best movie. “A new myth of film violence on a par with his contemporary John Wick and, by the way, a nice reminder of how to deal with the Nazis“.

Helander, who tried to flirt with the mainstream by hiring Samuel L. Jackson for his ‘Big Game’ (2014), returns to Finland wanting to prove, with ‘Cornered (Rambo)’ (Ted Kotcheff, 1982) at heart, that The strength of his early work was not just beginner’s luck. And how.

There we meet a lonely and rude gold prospector who, after a good day, comes across retreating Nazis who steal his gold. What they don’t know is that our protagonist is a legendary ex-commando who will become an unstoppable storm of revenge. No matter what the Nazis throw at him, this one-man death squad will do whatever they can to get their gold back, even if it means killing every Nazi in their path and unleashing new thirsty guerrillas. of Justice.

Jorma Tommila is in charge of interpreting this wild old-fashioned character, a legendary hero who, always in silence, stoically endures the enemy’s ordeal before unleashing hell itself based on murders of all kinds.
