During the last desperate days of WWII, a solitary prospector (Jorma Tommila) crosses paths with Germans on a scorched-earth retreat in northern Finland. When the Germans 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 Germans 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 German in his path.
The 2 parts movie (2022 and 2025) are in the same brutal and violent theme. But is not disappointing at all, you have action, history, little humor too and a great lesson of survival and an example of how to "stand your ground no matter what".
In the second part the action continue after the WW2, with russian occupation of finish territories and Sisu took revenge in the end. Impressive story, the movie worth watch it.
