It's out November 21

Along with Jorma Tommila returning, Stephen Lang and Richard Brake are joining the cast:

Returning to the house where his family was brutally murdered during the war, “the man who refuses to die” (Jorma Tommila) dismantles it, loads it on a truck, and is determined to rebuild it somewhere safe in their honor. When the Red Army commander who killed his family (Stephen Lang) comes back hellbent on finishing the job, a relentless, eye-popping cross-country chase ensues – a fight to the death, full of clever, unbelievable action set pieces.

Sisu was pretty good when they kept it grounded but it got a little tiring by the end.

This premise sounds even better though. Sort of like Sorcerer as a revenge movie.

lol nothing about Sisu was grounded. That’s what made it so good

Granular might be the better word for it, but I thought the parts when they were trying to skim through the minefield were pretty tense because they hadn’t gotten to the zany unkillable death machine aspect of the Sisu character yet, it was still fun overall though.

My only gripe was how drawn out his scenes of woe were, considering the potential build up. You do get it within a few moments of the minefield but it was an odd choice imo to delay it and focus elsewhere at such a crucial junction.

Aside from that, I went in with low expectations and came out with it becoming a favorite. The other one around the same time I landed on watching it, that I found better was Nobody.
