Nazis Dying Badly ; -)

Maybe it’s the residual generational trauma in my DNA which makes me feel good seeing Nazis die badly. I feel a little less dead inside if I can root for someone doing terrible things to awful people. I won’t deny it, but I like watching the Third Reich bested. Blame Dr. Jones and history.

Director Jalmari Helander is best known for his Santa-As-A-Service film. Another great action Christmas movie. There is reasonable comparisons of the Sisu hero to the John Wick films with their never die ways lead them to strangely never die. It feels like a gene onto itself which can do gangster, wars stories. Has the multiverse been too much of a storytelling crutch rather then great pivot more? I don’t think so. The pivots will continue to happen until Fast and the Furious money.

I secretly believe the main protagonist of Sisu is a Finnish golem.
