First Trailer and Poster for WWII Thriller SISU
First look at the Finnish WWII romp.

Written and directed by Jalmari Helander (Rare Exports; Big Game), Sisu takes us back to the end of WWII in Northern Finland. When the Nazis steal gold from a prospector (Jorma Tommila), they learn the hard way that he's an ex-commando with a special set of skills.

Aksel Hennie, Jack Doolan, Mimosa Willamo and Onni Tommila also star.

Sisu plays at the Dublin International Film Festival on February 25th and at FrightFest Glasgow on March 9th.

Check out the trailer and poster below.




The official synopsis reads:

During the last desperate days of WWII, a solitary prospector (Jorma Tommila) crosses paths with Nazis on a scorched-earth retreat in northern Finland.  When the Nazis steal his gold, they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner.  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.  And no matter what the Nazis throw at him, the one-man death squad will go to outrageous lengths to get his gold back – even if it means killing every last Nazi in his path.
