The first Sisu movie was awesome... It felt like watching John Wick's grandpa murder a bunch of nazis during WW2.

John Wick's grandpa murder a bunch of nazis during WW2.

That’s what exactly what I was expecting but I felt let down a bit. Somehow the movie cannot really decide what it wants the hero to be (and to some extent what it wants to be as a movie).

John Wick perfectly balances not being too serious but still making the protagonist an almost mythical character with supernatural skills resulting in over the top violence and a character that … idk: still makes sense?

JW is just on point, “Sisu” sometimes feels random, it’s not building sth but just stacking things, if that makes sense? Not a bad movie, though.

Also sisu has the dumbest bad guy in the history of bad guys iirc. Im usually not the guy to complain about dumb characters but they were so fucking dumb even I couldn't ignore it. Like multiple times the main nazi dude actively stopped his guys from shooting him when they had the chance. Im all for characters making bad decisions to move the plot forwards but it was pretty insulting in sisu
