SISU (2022) Greg & Roxy's Reaction: ⁠   • SISU MOVIE REACTION!! FIRST TIME WATCHING!...  ⁠ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! ⁠https://www.rejectnationshop.com/⁠ With Sisu: Road to Revenge (SI2U) in theatres this weekend, Coy & John head down the treacherous road into their SISU Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Breakdown, Q&A, & Spoiler Review!! Coy Jandreau & John Humphrey react to Sisu (2022), the brutal and stylish Finnish action film written and directed by Jalmari Helander (Rare Exports, Big Game). Set during the final days of World War II, Sisu has become a modern cult favorite thanks to its over-the-top action, striking visuals, and a near-mythic one-man-army protagonist. The story follows Aatami Korpi, played by Jorma Tommila (known for Rare Exports and Big Game), a quiet prospector with a terrifying past. When he strikes gold in the Lapland wilderness, he attracts the attention of Nazi soldiers led by the ruthless SS Officer Bruno Helldorf, played by Aksel Hennie (The Martian, Headhunters). What follows is a relentless warpath of retribution as Aatami single-handedly takes on an entire platoon determined to steal his fortune. Supporting performances include Jack Doolan (The Boys, Marcella) as the vicious Wolfgang, Mimosa Willamo (Aurora, Bodom) as Aino, one of the women captured by the Nazis, and Onni Tommila (Rare Exports) in a memorable minor role. Iconic and highly searched scenes from Sisu include the minefield sequence, Aatami’s insane underwater knife fight, the tractor convoy ambush, the hanging escape, and the over-the-top plane finale that cements Korpi as one of the toughest action heroes of the past decade. With its grindhouse energy and jaw-dropping stunts, Sisu is a blood-soaked ride that blends spaghetti western vibes with ’80s action excess.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Thank you to Shopify for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. Finish people of the reject nation, Finnish citizens, Finisans. There we go. Welcome back to another jam-packed action Friday. As Coitus and myself get ready to tussle. I've heard this is action-packed. I've heard this compared we both have to a particular film franchise,
Starting point is 00:00:28 and that's about the only thing I know is people say that this is like finished John Wick and I am very excited to discover that what that means for it is time for us to watch C-Soo that's right C-Soo 2 Electric Bugaloo is out now or at least at the festival circuit
Starting point is 00:00:45 so we're checking this out and who knows if this goes well maybe we'll watch the sequel but yeah how you doing you know I know John Wick only had a dog but I'm pretty sure he has finished I'm excited until part five
Starting point is 00:00:58 Until part five. Until part. And then we'll see what happens. But yeah, I've heard this is excellent. I've heard it's quite the franchise starter. You know, the second one is out now. So I'm very excited to see what a finished genre is. I've heard really good things.
Starting point is 00:01:11 And I love a good action franchise starter. I think what was the one on Netflix? Extraction. That and its sequel were two of my favorites of their respective years. So I'd like to. Yeah, I'd like to discover another in that incredible genre of absurdist action. So, ready to dive into a new one. I love absurdism.
Starting point is 00:01:32 That makes me feel even better just getting acquainted with the idea that we could be in for something. I assume absurdism, but who knows? It's one of the more absurd days of the year as we're shooting this, and I'm very excited about it. There's much to do. And speaking of things to do, what you could do, if you wanted to see the entire experience of Sisu alongside Koi and myself, you could grab your own copy and come on over to patreon.com slash the real rejects, where there you can sync up with a time. time code and watch it with, you know, the whole thing, you see everything that doesn't make these reaction highlights. It's like you're on the couch with us. It's fun over there. We also have a
Starting point is 00:02:06 lovely community of people. They send us questions throughout the week. They get a little peek at our shooting schedule and they guide the reviews after these movie reactions. Any reaction you see on the channel probably has a watch along over at the Patreon. We also got some exclusive shows streaming over there with highlights included. And two, you can get yourself a little discount on some teas like these that can be found at rejectnation shop.com. Become a royal reject, go over there, become a righteous reject, collect all the alliterations. Yeah. And, you know, that
Starting point is 00:02:33 also is just a great big help to us either of these channels and means, you know, in combating the copyright and the age restriction and all the other weird stuff we deal with day in and day out. So, anyway, all the housekeeping aside, are you ready for some bone crunching action?
Starting point is 00:02:50 Sisu! Cisoo! All right, gang. Get ready for some Sisu. One, a two. And a three-sue. Sisu is a finished word that cannot be translated. It means a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Oh, we are in for it. C-Su manifests itself on all. Oh, my God. I am so in. This is some of the most compelling, like, tone-setter text. Yeah. Sick. This is dope.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Finland and the Soviet Union. have signed the Moscow Armist, which decrees that Finland must disarm the Nazis and drive them out of Lapland. Whoa. Get off our lap. The Nazis adopt a scorched earth tactic and destroy all roads, bridges, villages, and towns in their paths. This is insane. We're killing Nazis. Deep in the wilderness of Lapland, there is a man who has decided. I did to leave the war behind him for good.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Yeah, this is beautiful. That is beautiful, yeah. Leave it behind him for good. For gold. Oh, man, I don't know. That dog got both eyes. I couldn't tell. Oh, no, they're not going to kill his dog, are they?
Starting point is 00:04:22 They better not fool, John Wickus. I fear for that dog. Oh, yeah. No! Chapter 1. I love not knowing anything about this movie. I love, like, getting to watch something I know is good without any trailer. Like, I, yes.
Starting point is 00:04:46 The hype is real. Have you ever silted for gold or sifted? All we are is dust in the wind, dude. And some of us are gold. Some of us are gold. Oh, my God. See, I got lost in this passage because, like, while he's just, until the planes showed up, I forgot what era we were in for a minute.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Yeah, very effective, like a man on figuring his life out. Oh, wait, World War II. Just said me, yeah, a guy out in nature. Expensive holes to bury things. What did he hear? I love this paranoia because we don't know what he's. experiencing like directly what's causing it digging a trench man it been right there that close and encroaching
Starting point is 00:05:39 oh no she gone or is she out there I know eventually people will start talking but I do like that this is such a haven't needed it yet yeah mood and body language piece so far because you get so much sense for this guy in what they're showing and in how he's performing. Is this how you get gold? Is it a digging, like in the... Wow.
Starting point is 00:06:05 That is a rich vein. Oh. Wow. That is a very expensive hole. It's a valuable hole you just dug. Look at that. Oh, my God. That's generational wealth.
Starting point is 00:06:23 The glow. Imagine. why you could have 10 rings that is a yeah I mean I can't even imagine what that's worth yeah dude oh wow
Starting point is 00:06:41 wow wow I worry for everything's about to be taken from us wow bro what is this going to be all I can imagine is somehow
Starting point is 00:07:02 somehow he's going to get roped back into the war but like wow that is brutal wow oh man what happened I wonder what they shot this on it looks like film
Starting point is 00:07:23 does although they are better at that now they are there's a great skeleton i mean which is neat like i whoa the gold and the nazis a whole chapter in silence other than narration i love that so much and now it's like heavy as shit it's a great contrast yeah all that nature and vibrancy and calm and now the sound it's and my round yeah it's distorted music and gears and shit and the last chapter was like all nature and SMR, except for when the plane showed up. Those tanks and motorcycle is crazy. Mercedes-Benz.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Don't laugh at, Joel. He's doing his best. And he has millions of dollars in gold. My vink you for she key. Man, the pressure of this. Oh, save her. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. I don't like... His pants, no. This is the van where the tailors are all at.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Of course. And he's getting his inseam adjusted because he ripped his pants. Yeah. Yeah. Are they just cool with you walking around like that? I don't know. It's interesting. I thought they were all about, like, you know, maintaining the uniformity and... I mean, he's trying to just be as like...
Starting point is 00:08:56 Crispness. Yeah. But the just passing by energy, hopefully enough, but I don't know. God, man, their glass. Their lens flares are great. Huh? He's riding to his death anyway. Huh?
Starting point is 00:09:25 attention's great like the close call of that yeah and yeah that sort of like little happenstance like oh you let somebody go you never know what might happen they'll either pay you a favor or you'll live to regret it grim this is such you know world building
Starting point is 00:09:54 It's a good place setting, I guess, is when it's real history. It's like, yeah, to go from this idyllic countryside where you can almost forget what time and place you're in. Other than the planes, then you're going through the time and place you're in. Yeah, and you're like, who's, who's out there causing those explosions?
Starting point is 00:10:14 These guys, what else are they capable of this stuff? And where am I heading towards more of that? Like, he's into it. So, yeah, I think, I mean, I'm assuming he has to go sell the gold. What if all this time he's just getting, ready to bring it to his best friend Hitler and that's what he thinks the good is
Starting point is 00:10:29 we're why you're following guy we know nothing about his allegiances get up the horse where you think you're going old man there's nothing down there we made sure of that uh oh what do you got there
Starting point is 00:10:47 oh I hate it this old is a gold miner shit Get your pickax out, boy. You got gold in those bags? I like to cut that fish shot off early. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:05 It's like you don't get to fully revel in the juice. Take a look at this. Oh, no. Shit. We're rich, boys. Oh, we're saving the puppy. Love that shot. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Who dead? Yeah. Oh, my God. I was going to say that these guys suck. but I feel like there's no point. I mean, it's kind of redundancy. Yeah. Get down on your knees.
Starting point is 00:11:30 These bags are full of gold. Get down on your knees, grandpa. Shoot the fuck. Oh, boy. Whoa. Whoa. Come on, boy. He got gold.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Thank you, all, fuck. Whoa. Oh. Oh. That looks really good. Yeah. That looked really good. Wow.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Oh, no. Oh, no. Is this platoon turn around? Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Oh. That is always striking to me.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Oh, very modern action movies. like when they get them multiple stabs in oh this is brutal especially because like gnarly but cathartic yeah you got a move guy oh oh oh shit oh oh oh oh oh my god You have a little fun. You've awoken to Sisu. Yeah. That's a funny thing. I wonder how many people, like me, mistakenly, I assume.
Starting point is 00:13:03 I thought his name was Sisu. His name was Sisu. Because the most of a Rizzo. Yeah, he's just a guy. God. It's a good phallic imagery. We love to see it. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Oh, I've got to pocket some before. Oh, now they know. Damn it. And that's also, that's like a, I can't imagine much money. Ugh. Ugh. Now there's a cavalry against Carl Sisu. Oh.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Horse first. This tank, you gotta get out of there, man. It almost feels like a bad maxman. It has that energy for sure. It's like this... Oh my god! I never even considered that as a viable thing. It could totally happen.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Yeah. Oh, that shot. What if you blow up all that gold? I guess you would... Retrieve it? I guess, yeah, you could just scour the field, but geez. yeah just get just run your hand down the strings real quick and it's effective that was what I felt like in that moment that sound design man oh oh oh wow I was
Starting point is 00:14:51 unprepared nothing could have prepared me yeah and I was like oh I guess a very keen... Gold, Nazis, minefield. A keen-minded viewer probably would be able to figure that out, but... But yeah. Because I was getting lost in the art of it in that moment. I was literally having a thought to myself, like, oh, these shots are so cool and stuff like that, but, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:15 pondering the intentionality, and then, sure enough, the intentionality was there. Oh, man, that horse. Wow. Whore horse. Oh, I hate this. Yeah, at least it was a mediated. It didn't suffer, but man, that's awful. You're war horse.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Probably his only friend, that and the dog. Like, he was alone with them. Doggo ran off, right? We didn't see Doggo get captured. Yeah, the dog dodged, but I think John Wick's dog is this horse. There are so many soldiers. Oh, good. The gold littering the minefield.
Starting point is 00:15:50 At least we can see some of them. Oh, shit. the goal oh yeah he's gonna carry it oh oh that shot man they really make it pop too what is he about to do against like 30 Nazis what a shot god that's also very mad max that like on the convoy yeah just like put some more BDSM gear on this guy and like a weird ventilator mask
Starting point is 00:16:36 and he could be yeah so far it's like John Wick meets Mad Max the little extra shine they put on the gold very effective oh yes he's itching
Starting point is 00:16:54 Yeah. I feel like he's our, like, semi-boss. This guy is so compelling to watch. He hasn't said a word. Ooh, yeah. Smart. Awesome. Good arm, too.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Good aim. Fire! Andrew Gordon would be proud of his baseball game. Oh. Yes, Wonder Woman. Get it. Cool shot. I hope he mapped out behind him before that, like looking ahead.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Always one guy who's going to get that last shot off. A little Batman ninja bomb, little Wonder Roman shield. It's so flat. Where does he go? The smoke would help him, though, like the amount of they shot on top of it. I'd send somebody into the fog. That's why we get a one-on-one. fight or a couple on one.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Yeah, I'm going. Into a minefield with all that does. Oh, my God, dude. I love the efficiency of, like, Nazis as villains because you just want to see everybody die. Like, it's, there's no gray area. I get to just enjoy this. I love a villain with plot and depth,
Starting point is 00:18:14 but I also love just violence sometimes. Wow! This movie is crazy. Chuck to Claymore not a clayboard but a mine at the dude's head. Awesome. Who's next? I'm doing my part. There's so many of them to die.
Starting point is 00:18:35 You? Yeah. And you. Oh yeah. On the size of the road now. Oh, God. Jesus. I know he's one had to go.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Yeah. Wow. Wow. Wow. that's that's funny the third one is funny as hell how many minds did you bury here all of them
Starting point is 00:19:05 pick two of our female friends and bring them to me wow excellent handsome role i love that this movie does appear to have a sense of humor about the violence yeah for sure yeah it's like cheeky shit like that and it still feels and you there's something
Starting point is 00:19:25 about the way they're doing this that manages to like balance pulp with like feeling like a more historical contemplative yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:19:35 yeah it's definitely like an old grind house energy but with modern humor it's got a lot going on well yeah and it's got like enough hefty detail that it feels like you're watching like a more dramatic war movie
Starting point is 00:19:49 how they tie them together she was like take me you got grid. But like I don't get the together thing. Oh, is that a distance for the tire tracks? Yeah, I suppose so. Yeah. It's like we'll follow
Starting point is 00:20:06 the legend. General, he has given us orders, turn back, and head to nowhere from Finland immediately. Did you tell him he just killed seven of our men? I did. And he thinks we were lucky. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Starting point is 00:20:24 King Lackey. He's the legend. Wow. The dog tags belong to a man named Artemy Corby. Not Carl. He was a Finnish commando. The most feared in his unit. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:20:36 The general said, and I quote, is one mean motherfucker that you do not want to mess with. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. He fought in the winter war, lost his home and his family to the Russians. He became a ruthless, vengeful soldier. Took orders from no one. Wow.
Starting point is 00:20:55 The Finns, they gave up trying to discipline or control him. They just send him out alone into the wilderness to hunt Russian patrols. That's wild. He became a one-man-de-s squad. Exactly, the kind of legend that comes out of a war like this. The shots him running to the mist. But it looks like he has over 300 Russian kills. Wow.
Starting point is 00:21:19 And seven Nazis. The Russians. They gave him a name. They call him Koshai. The immortal. Immortal. Yes. Wow.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Kosci. The road is clear, sir. We are going to follow our orders, right? We are turning back. Good focus, Rack. No. You are not turning back. Who would we be if we turned back?
Starting point is 00:21:52 We're losing the war. We are. In a few months, this all will be over for us. When we get back, they will hang us all. Just trying to get money to get out. That cold is our way out. Mm-hmm. There you go.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Damn, he's got a contingency plan. I think I've walked by this prop at a haunted house. Ha ha ha. Rubs some dirt on that. that. Put some gold on. That'll heal it. Yeah, buddy. Yeah, buddy. The super subtle movement of the camera. Nice. Nice doggo. Stay hidden, pup. God, that focus. Yeah, whoever was there. You guys are pretty dog soldiers man so many of them
Starting point is 00:23:02 so many of them just pretend to be a corpse it's the dogs that's the dogs that worry about and he knows it that's they're coming Yeah. That zoom. Yeah, and that energy, the franticness. Felt like a 70s movie Zoom. It felt like an editing soon.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Oh, smart man, smart man. Wowie, wowie, wowie, wowie. What's the next move? Yeah. So it's so good attention and like inventive pivots. Ah. Throw off his scent, maybe? Yeah, I was gonna say, does that stuff have...
Starting point is 00:24:08 I mean, gas would make you smell like gas. Yeah. Gasoline! There you go. And gasoline. Also, now we could like try to... Dog's lost to save. Oh, but that's the one the women are in.
Starting point is 00:24:27 What's happening? He has to save Immorton Joe's wives. They are useless. Knocked out, boy. This is pouring all over him. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Ow. Release the dog. You don't want to have to tango with you. Wow. With his hand, he lights himself. Finish him. Whoa. Wow, dude.
Starting point is 00:25:10 On fire. That bad shot was crazy. Like, did that dude do the stunt? Or like, I mean, I imagine they CGI'd the fire But like then transferred to the stuntman running So that was definitely proud school That was crazy Immortal or not
Starting point is 00:25:26 The man is there With a light yourself on fire So dogs don't bite you long enough To jump at the water like crazy work And now Washed off all the gas Everybody wins The way to the gold
Starting point is 00:25:38 Keeping them under Whoa Now get me the gold Is he going to take about underwater? Yeah. Like one, because that'd be one at a time. Probably. He's doing this like one at a time
Starting point is 00:26:00 where he narrows the field. Yes. This is really smart, yeah. And it's like, it's good for tension because it's always desperate enough that it's like it's always one more step. And then how do I use this place to escape and also take out maybe one or two guys?
Starting point is 00:26:16 And the movie making aspect of, Like, you gotta have... Oh, some believility. Is he getting the air out of his luck? Huffing the oxygen of the dead Nazi. That is insane. Just bought him two minutes. Go after him.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Now! What a crazy movie. You're next, man. Oh, geez, dude. Oh, no. He's gonna steal the boat? This is so funny. Ha ha ha ha.

Starting point is 00:27:13 Ugh. Yeah, the minibals can be a good day. be a good death too. It was like John C. Riley's wiery brother. He does have a John C. Riley vibe. I thought this movie is going to be like all in finish or something, but like they appear to be speaking English. Yeah, like their mouths are moving in English.
Starting point is 00:27:31 It's not like a dub. So if we're watching it wrong, let us know, I guess. I'm sorry. But they clearly are speaking in English visually too. Ah, ha. Jeez. Jeez. Jeez.
Starting point is 00:27:47 God, this is ragdoll in that body. No, no. Oh, no. No, no. Hold the dog in the hospital. They're gonna, I think, but get that dog jump in the water, dog. Hey. Hey.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Come on here. Don't go to that guy when he whistles to you. You know this dude sucks. Find me a boat. Ha ha ha ha. Scored, sir. Let's go. go.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Because there's also that level of, like, you have to be fighting for something. Oh, wow. That is devastating. God damn. That, ooh. If a 7-Eleven got blown up, what would be the most likely foods that would remain? Those hot dogs are pretty impervious to nature. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Oh, no, you got to, you got to tourniquet that shit. You got to put pressure to stop the bleeding. That's a really evocative, like, POV. Oh, the dog's going to find him, and then they're going to find him because the dog. Use your own dog. Oh, I hate this. Oh, he's got on. The dynamite.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Oh, my God. Oh, my God. No. Oh. Oh, he saved the dog. Oh, they attached dynamite to the dog. Reject Nation, when we launched this channel, I thought learning how to film and edit will be hard.

Starting point is 00:31:06 This is a fascinatingly constructed movie. This is really, it's like it's so linear. it's like thoughtful and observant in a way but it's very shrewd and effective and it's just momentum and they keep surprising me with things but things that also feel any last words
Starting point is 00:31:24 I didn't think so oh well he can't talk to constrict his throat like that oh that weight on him too Oh, that weight on him, too. Oh.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Wow. Oh. Wow. Oh. Probably a degree of like, well, a warrior. A friggin legend. Yeah. A little money for his
Starting point is 00:32:01 passing. For your troubles. I was thinking like Boatman River Stick situation. 100%. What the head? Back on. I don't know what guy doesn't even have to begin with.
Starting point is 00:32:13 It's perfect. Oh my God is even how I had to begin with. Yeah. Oh my God, dude. What the hell? What is that? This is the most resourceful. man of all time.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Took some weight off his neck. The most painful way possible is just bleeding down the pipe. This might be the manliest movie I've ever seen. Oh, the way that just hurt me. Oh. His dog's okay. That leg is not going to be
Starting point is 00:33:03 blockable. Useful for much longer, I am afraid. We're here to pick you up. Come on, Carl Sizu. Your transmitter went off the second they foist you up on the... Oh, God. One more. A good place to smoke a cigar around.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Definitely. Kill two birds with one stone. He's just staying there hung. I look at we got two bonus Nazis to kill. I know. A little extra. I wonder if he's going to do something crazy with the noose. He's going to use it like one of those string.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Instead of a ball on a string, it's just a noose on a string. He does like one of those long-range martial arts weapons. He's wrapping around his feet in his arms. This son of a bitch is still alive. Shoot the man. Shoot the dog, too. Bro. Kill him.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Kill everybody. Hey. Oh, shit. I'm the dog. Shoot the fucking dog. Dude, you are asking for a worse death each time you say that. Yep.
Starting point is 00:34:24 He killed this man violently. Now he's gone. Get him. Oh, yeah. You'll shit bricks. Is he going to take that plane? I was going to say. He about to find them.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Because we don't know how long he was. is out like he's got to catch you up this is a great film school movie because this is an excellent example of how you don't need much if any dialogue to still tell a story yeah true you could tell visual story oh he's giving up on the gold
Starting point is 00:34:53 oh oh an interesting moment yeah oh he hadn't noticed the plane yeah Get you go back. God, I hit it too well.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Whoa. Whoa. Caught a rise that shit. Oh, just shoved a match in his leg. Oh my God. Oh my God. Who? Mangled human.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Like Frankenstein's monster. It looks like it was stitched together. out of a few different guys. That's why he's immortal. He's not immortal. He's on a pilgrimage back to his creator to demand a wife. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:35:50 He's like, I got the ring. Make me a wife. Dr. Frankenstein is over that hill. Give me someone to hang with if I can't die. Oh, my man. Oh my God, dude. They have gotten really good at this kind of effect.
Starting point is 00:36:07 The amount of time of past Had, like, you know, a decade or two, I've watched an in-depth suturing montage. Oh my God, dude. Look at that. Oh. Seesu.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Oh. Pups getting to eat. The plane is ready. What about the rest of our squad? We don't need us to get to Norway. The boys have a crate full of booze and a truck full of bitches. Oh. I'm sure they'll figure something out.
Starting point is 00:36:37 I will. This dude gets no bitches. All right. None. Let's just clear that up right now. There's something at the road. A plane. Ah!
Starting point is 00:36:47 Hell yeah. Way to block the road of the whole ass plane, Carl Sisu. And he just pulled it over there. He just casually crashed a plane. Crashing this plane. Is this the plane? The plane.
Starting point is 00:37:04 No, idiot. This is something else. I wonder if these are. Are the actors same voices? Or if they got other actors? Smart. With the noose. That's kind of using the noose.
Starting point is 00:37:23 The pilot has been hanged. That's my rope. What? That's the rope I used to hand corp you with. Copies. The realization. Oh no. He's starting to believe.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Let's get the fuck out of here. Ha ha ha ha ha. You best start believing in ghost stories. You're in one. He's taken out like almost a third of them. Everybody move. Everybody dance now. I love seeing dude shook.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Shooketh. This dude's getting superstish. He's hanging from a rope somewhere. He's dead. You fool. What's so fucking funny? Nothing. What the fuck are you smiling for then?
Starting point is 00:38:12 Oh. Do you assholes really think you have succeeded where hundreds of Russians have died trying? Jesus. We all know the story. You'll see what happens when you take everything from him. Oh. The boogeyman speech. No.
Starting point is 00:38:32 He won't give up. He'll just keep coming back. Michael Myers. You really believe that he's a. Morton. He's Jason. No. He just refuses to die.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Yep. We have a word for that in Finland, but it's impossible to translate. Oh. You see, this is not about who's the strongest. This is about not giving up. It's about who wants it more. And he won't. It's game day.
Starting point is 00:38:59 Ever. Who? No matter what you bitches are trying. You only make him stronger. Yeah. So, what is so fucking funny? Yeah. Is that you, your boyfriend?

Starting point is 00:45:16 There's so little fat on it, but it's so cheeky and creative. It's visceral. It's bone crunching. Wow, my dude. Oh shit. Oh my god. Oh my god Did you hear that
Starting point is 00:45:34 It's nothing, just an old plane It's the house settling There's no such thing as ghosts Okay, he's got good grip He's got that G.I. Joe Kung Fu grip 18,000 feet in the air or whatever He's gonna just like shove the bomb in there Ignite it somehow and then jump out
Starting point is 00:45:55 and like get his gold first Yeah. God. Wow. Nice. And they know just the right amount of things to show us and not show us with how he gets around, how Carl Sisu gets around. Boss fight on a plane with a nuke. Wow.
Starting point is 00:46:23 This guy does look like a brawler. Oh, that little, like, woodwind, that little flute tone. Yeah, the occasional instrumentation. Oh. He's so mad. Ah! Owry, owie. Don't, you got bigger fish, my friend.
Starting point is 00:46:55 You got bigger fish. If he wins, you're dead. You might be dead if he loses. Yeah. That's a hard thing to come back for him. Oh, Jesus, ow. Oh my God, in the face. Oh.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Fight! Fight! Wow, that skin coming up. So painful. Oh, you want to fight? Yep. Wait for it. Ha ha ha ha!
Starting point is 00:47:40 I just need you where I need you, you know? That was a face attached to a nuke. That is so fucking epic. Wow That Should have just a missile But yeah, that was amazing It attached him to a missile
Starting point is 00:48:05 It launched him at the earth That was truly something I didn't know how the boss fight went in But I would never have guessed An hour ago It would end there Oh shit You're gonna have to do a water landing
Starting point is 00:48:18 My guy Or you're gonna have to T.B. Cooper I think he's bailing Way out of this He's secretly Loki That's how he's able to survive Oh no, no shoots. Just grab a big sheet.
Starting point is 00:48:34 You'll be fine. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Wow! Dear God, I think someone should make a big old super cut. like 12 and a half hours of all the cinematic shots of debris. Saving Private Ryan to today. That was a big one. It got them in me.
Starting point is 00:49:06 There are lenses, man. I drove the tank back. I brought him, yes. Wow, smart. Smart. Oh, he's there you're saying that Pansarri-vaun Natshirt.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Where are Nazis? Oh, he's there now. And soon he will be more in hell. Final chapter. Yeah, I love these like 70s. It's so grind-house. Spaghetti. Yeah, title cards.
Starting point is 00:49:47 You might have vaporized the plane, but you cannot vaporize Carl's history. Nope. From a discovery of true gold at the beginning to being reborn in black gold at the end. Why not? It's a puddle of mud and motor oil. Hey, little buddy. I don't know how, but I'm happy.
Starting point is 00:50:10 Also, that dog, impressively lovely coat action, not too scuzz-d-up. Yeah. I would like to turn this into life-altering cash, please. Wow. I want my money. His voice matches the man. He'll be so very rascally raskan. Wow!
Starting point is 00:50:58 He's got pain. Big bills won't be so damn heavy to carry. Jean-Marie Hellander, well done. Oh man, and these are sick. What a pitch ya! What a film. film what an experience i need i need to yorma to mea all of the expendables in one oxalhenny jack dulin
Starting point is 00:51:25 mimosa willamo yamo ony to me these are names are awesome yeah damn i'm so excited for caesu too i would love if just every single movie he's just going to a different bank at the end to cash something else in. He's on a mission to make that jet up. That was insane. That's so funny.
Starting point is 00:51:50 I love that they don't pay off the wife thing. Not at all. You have no idea. Maybe that's the next one. And I think, I don't know, I guess you could extrapolate that when he's in that one scene
Starting point is 00:52:02 when he's going to sleep and he's laying down in that one kind of blown out building he's in and he hears the crying and stuff. Like I sort of took from that that he must have a wife, a child who died.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Yeah, and like the ring and the explosions in the distance. Like, I just didn't know if that's where he was heading to save them or I guess the, yeah, the astute viewer would say, but also given that we know that they're the film, it could have been anything. Yeah, and I'm like, knowing now that there is at least a part two, you know, they could always mess around with the lore. I mean, this man survived a plane crash with the plane who's vaporized and he wasn't. He can do whatever he wants.
Starting point is 00:52:39 Well, I think they smartly, uh, you know. obviously there's a height to this movie there's some level of disbelief suspension despite a lot of it being very conscientious enough to be convincing
Starting point is 00:52:51 but yeah I like that they saved the most impossible stunt for the very end strap right in ragd doll your body and hope for the best and like our only fin
Starting point is 00:53:01 I think that's finish like the only finish in the finish film is him I like that the whole film's in English and he gets this badass gutterol like three lines of dialogue
Starting point is 00:53:10 but it is a weird like you know any and like I don't know there's all sorts of fascinating prismic angles to approach any sort of war movie from depending on like who's making it and what language is it in and you know what is the casting like and stuff and I do think it's interesting because on the one hand knowing certain things about like international movies and stuff like that part of me wonders if they originally were going to have the Nazis speak German and then they were like well I kind of like everyone that everyone English and then he gets well well that's the thing is like it is striking and you could if you want to extrapolate some kind of choice from the fact that they've cast all that because this isn't an american produced movie i don't think so like all the nazis are speaking english which on the one hand is a very conscientious decision because that allows you a much bigger reach on the global market yeah and uh you know you can see why they did that and i know that some movies you know run into problems there if they don't
Starting point is 00:54:08 have people who natively speak english and sometimes you know the accents are prohibitive and whatever else this clearly didn't have doesn't seem to have had that problem but it's just interesting to me yeah that you have marked like you're not going to not notice Nazi speaking English especially when
Starting point is 00:54:23 you get back and at the end yeah everyone in Finland is speaking Finnish your lead finally speaks it's in his native language ostensibly like which is really cool like it's just a neat thing and it feels to me sort of like them splitting the difference
Starting point is 00:54:40 they're going like yeah we want this to get as light of reach as possible. And because like the Nazis are the people who speak and because all their dialogue, you know, isn't, isn't the rich stuff about the movie. Like it. And then the language is so badass. It gives such a payoff to him. It gives him such a unique staple on the film. Yeah. It's like, you get to have your cake and eat it too because you like, I want my Finnish film about this Finnish guy to be in Finnish. Right. But I'm also going to make this in English to he's like, clearly this has become a successful global movie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like the finish. You know, the Finnish women speak German English to the guys, but yeah, even when they get back and they're all conversing, like, it's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:55:19 It's just like so, this is such a simple choice that's so strong. Yeah, and it's just like interesting and it feels, you know, movies now can sometimes feel like products and movies, especially in traditions or of or hearkening two other movies can feel like, you know, one thing or another, but that gives this a living feeling to it. and you could feel when I heard Giermel Datoro recently has been describing stuff as his things
Starting point is 00:55:45 that he puts out as like you know handmade art for humans yeah and it's stuff like that in a movie like this too makes it feel like that yeah handmade art for I love that the comp we had heard
Starting point is 00:55:55 was John Wick which it certainly is but there was so much Mad Max in this there's so much like 70s grind house exploitation film in this and Mad Max is like Ozploitation like the first mad Max was very much
Starting point is 00:56:07 a conscious choice to make a 70s Ozploitation film and that was made with like no money and I love the some of the things this felt like and pulled from weren't modern like John Wick this felt very of a certain time and and energy and it was a blast I really had a great time
Starting point is 00:56:24 with this yeah and it also feels like a Western because it's you know it's about a guy just like off in the wilderness mining for gold yeah and then he finds it just trying to take it back to town to get it cashed in at the bank yeah that's a very classic Western kind of thing and so like there's a lot of the title cards and all that shit like there's a lot of spaghetti in this like it's fun because it's doing a lot of things at once and all while being a thing I've never seen which is a finish myth yeah but you know killing Nazis as I mentioned during the film like that's such a clean like we don't need a lot of backstory yeah you just make it yeah no matter well depending on where you are on earth I guess now it's a very easy yeah it's easy pretty global you know if you were
Starting point is 00:57:07 enemies during the war. I guess if you were allies at the time, that's a bit awkward, but yeah, it's like a choice. There is a kind of, yeah, short hand of like, oh, the Nazis. Kill them. Yeah. There's not going to be much savory happening with these guys. Yeah. There's not going to be much, yeah, redeemable complexity. And some movies, I like my villains to have shades of grace. Sometimes if it's a movie like this, ultraviolence. And like, I want that to be clean. Yeah, and I liked that this, it's like they're not hyperdimensional characters, but it's also an immediate enough experience that it's not like a thing
Starting point is 00:57:41 that's lacking and the performers are good enough that it you can kind of fill in the blight like it's just as much as it needs to be and it's a nice tight 90 minutes accordingly like the movie gets to be lean you mentioned it a couple times in there the movie just moves so you don't need to dwell on anyone too long you just like
Starting point is 00:57:57 have this angry violence at them yeah and it just like unfolds and develops and it goes from one thing to the next and it feels like each step of the way he's just figuring out what's next. Yeah. And every time it's, you know, it's, you got to be able to sell the myth of this, yeah,
Starting point is 00:58:15 immortal, unstoppable guy. Without losing the pace. Yeah, and without losing the believability. And yeah, it's like when he's faced with those trucks in the tank, I'm like, what the hell is going to happen? Are they going to take him prisoner? And, yeah, it's like the way he whittles them down and the way he kind of assesses each landscape and just goes for, how can I take out a couple guys and get the hell out of here
Starting point is 00:58:31 to the next thing. Yeah. And, uh, and yeah, it makes for a really effective. it's weird because it's like on the one hand it's like very straightforward very tight and very like no bullshit but on the other hand there are like a lot of great flourishes
Starting point is 00:58:46 great details it's thoughtful it lets things breathe and it has beautiful like the movie itself is shot so stunningly it has so much cinematography that like I think this movie would have been fun if they just shot it but instead they made it art and then they got violent yeah yeah this is so wild
Starting point is 00:59:01 oh boy gang clearly we did not enjoy this movie whatsoever if you couldn't tell from my review uh we've already begun but if you happen to be watching at this point in the video leave a like that would be very much appreciated that's like gold to us yeah like it we can turn that into bills yeah we're sifting for likes yeah and subscribes and if you could hit the notification more those are big nugs if you hit the notification bell and we do see sue too you'll be the first to know about it so get on there also thanks to i already think prepper did i think prepper thanks to prepper because you
Starting point is 00:59:34 know i'm sure this wasn't the easiest movie to the hardest movie to cut down. Yeah. The hardest movie to cut down. But there's some stuff in here that I'm like, oh, I wonder. So, yeah, I appreciate y'all for getting this visible for the people. And if you happen to be listening to our discussion here in audio forum on a podcast platform of any variety, if you could leave us a little rating, that would be delightful. And yeah, let's start with one of our questions here from our lovely royal rejects over at Patreon. Nick at night, the place for TV hits.
Starting point is 01:00:03 Hey, Coy and John. Hey, you. thanks for chiming in i hope you like this movie as much as me just wanted to know what you thought about there being no dialogue for the main character pretty much all movie what do you think it added to the movie thank you for all the hard work rejects much love i mean that's kind of how we open the review i thought it was such a way to enhance the intensity i thought having that it was almost a punchline of him being the one in this book finish i thought his voice was awesome and gravely and intense i love that he was strong silent but it was for purpose and for movie
Starting point is 01:00:33 aesthetic. I think it really captured a tone. It was really unique. So I love the choice. I think it added to it. I think it enhanced it. I thought it was a really smart, conscientious decision to add tension to add a ticking clock element to add a funny button at the end. Like it did everything. Yeah, this, I really love when people are willing to let that happen in a movie. Yeah. And, you know, that's kind of a neat thing about action especially is because there is already a mythos of like the silent warrior badass guy. So yeah, I thought that the
Starting point is 01:01:08 actor here. Yeah, if your actor's good enough to do it with their eyeballs for you know, two hours, hour and a half. Yeah, he had so much presence and I really yeah, love the choice to make him you know, not me, you know, he's not mute, but yeah, not speaking for most of the movie. Um, Atami.
Starting point is 01:01:25 Uh, yeah, this guy Yorma Tomila, um, he's just so expressive and subtle at the same times. over the top, but yeah, I love that we got this opening chapter to just observe him out in nature on his own, you know, certainly striking of presence, but also kind of soft in a way and one with the elements. And yeah, it adds to this mysticism. And two, you know, it's like a practical thing. It's like maybe he doesn't speak German. Maybe he doesn't speak English, you know. I like that it doesn't matter because what he's trying to do doesn't really involve having to communicate with them and what he's, you know, doing is all physical. So yeah, I think it's a really great device for visual storytelling. It's a great opportunity for an actor to really show their chops. And I thought it just continually drew me into this movie. Yeah, it kept pulling me into his expressions, kept pulling
Starting point is 01:02:16 into the moments in between. It kept making me wonder if he was ever going to speak. It kept intrigue up. I think it was a great choice. Yeah, and it lets you project stuff, but it also kind of puts you, you know, without putting you into the Nazis like perspective, you know, emotionally you are trying to figure him out along with them yeah that's really good point and so like that's a way to kind of add to the mythological quality that he has for us viewing it but without yeah yeah and also kind of making the tension fun it's like we know all these guys are going to get murked and it's still fun even though we're still with them going like what is this guy's deal and then i got to cheer when he spoke like that's such an added element of payoff yeah and i think as
Starting point is 01:02:58 we were started to talk about i think it's really cool that he only speaks a few lines and I assume finish and that they have that passage at the end of the movie once you're at home and everything is sort of a sigh of relief you get the native language and yeah the fact that he comes in and he just wants to
Starting point is 01:03:16 cash out his gold for bills is heavy is beautiful I love that it also implies he's going to keep moving I love that it wasn't to end the thing it was under the next like it adds to the myth of him yeah it could be as simple as I've been I left the war I got nothing
Starting point is 01:03:32 I want to start a new life, give me my gold, or maybe he needs the goal for some purpose. I like the idea of him just like he's going to the next mission, next thing he's on. He's been, like, we didn't see him at a place of stability. We interpreted it as beautiful and blah, blah, blah, but he might have just came from some stuff, found the gold onto the next.
Starting point is 01:03:48 He just wants to move lighter. Like, they really give you everything. Yeah. So love a laconic or a non-speaking hero. Love a movie that allows for stretches at a time with no dialogue. I feel like especially in America, Hollywood, we are certainly wary of letting any too much time go by
Starting point is 01:04:06 with no dialogue but I always appreciate it like the Netflix thing where it's like make sure to describe what the characters are doing because everyone's on their phones when you watch like it's gotten aggressively worse
Starting point is 01:04:17 of overexposition explaining what's happening like this was delightfully the opposite and at no point did I even think of my phone no no this was beautiful and I hope in the second movie he talks even less than this one
Starting point is 01:04:31 two lines It's not the three he got. I hope that when he's on screen, not speaking, they play that, like, extra crazy silence that's like they've created a room at Cambridge. Yeah, it sounds like the lack of sound. Yeah, and it drives people crazy. You can hear not talking.
Starting point is 01:04:48 I want him to be. Yeah, I want him to be so quiet. I can't hear my own thought. Yeah. All right. Brian Nguyen, thank you for chiming in. Hey, guys, what were your favorite kills, moments, or sequences in the movie.
Starting point is 01:05:04 Man, the whole thing feels like one big sequence. Obviously, there were moments that were beats. I think I really enjoyed when I kept not knowing what the next set piece was going to be. And especially, like, once we got to the plane, once we got to the hanging, that whole thing was like, what could possibly go from here? I think the women taking over was really cathartic
Starting point is 01:05:25 in a way that I wasn't necessarily expecting. Like, I knew this was a badass dude movie, but a lot of times that's at the cost of badass women moments but it also they didn't do his extreme violence where it felt like suddenly everyone was a badass they got to be badass with very simple beats like there wasn't
Starting point is 01:05:41 anything I mean they literally got a fish in the barrel moment where it wasn't like well why are they trained assassins like it got to be again the plausible denial of just enough where it's all absurdist but it still felt like and then he got to be badass in his specific way so I really like the women with the fish in the barrel uh i really liked um the escalation of vehicles to violence i like there's always like another setting we talked about like the actual physical settings a few times and i liked that those always evolved
Starting point is 01:06:09 so i that doesn't really answer your question but like yes and i mean yeah the the scene with the women in the truck is there's so much across that scene again from the barrel of the tank gun coming into the thing and then him taking out the two soldiers like the whole sequence was one of my favorites just because yeah it's like you get these dudes discussing the situation only for it to like interrupt the conversation which i just thought was like a really great it's like no bullshit and we're getting you know to some fun you know cathartic stuff and yeah it's like you get enough height with her shooting the driver she gets that marksman moment but then the rest of them yeah like this might be the first time they're firing a gun or the second or whatever but yeah like it's
Starting point is 01:06:51 totally believable you also buy her as a marksman badass because she carries herself in a way the whole movie that you know she would be the leader of them like certain things like that are just enough yeah and it's like i love that it's a smart call on his part because he's like of course this would help my mission but they also deserve to get a little payback and you know bringing back this tank is probably going to be an asset to our military efforts here like you know it's there's so much to that so that was really striking i love the minefield because it that was the first moment because it was like one of the first bits in the film where i realized he was going to be thinning the herd Yeah. The whole opening I was like, oh, he's going to take out these Nazis and then he's going to avoid the big group of them and then he's going to go on a mission. Once I realized the big group was turning around and the movie would be him thinning the herd by way of the minefield scene. The minefield scene was great and it was that aha moment. Yeah, absolutely. When he thrusts the pickaxe at the two motorcycle dudes and they just run off, I thought that was just a very charming. Yeah. And I mean, the minefield thing, especially when he starts throwing them at the guys. Yeah. When it collides with that front.
Starting point is 01:07:54 dude's face or whatever to go from throwing the rock setting one off and then hitting that one dude in the face was just like yeah very uh very striking something i hadn't really seen or contemplated before him uh ripping that guy's throat open and breathing out of it as he's picking him off and the water was great yeah the settings i also want to say it was crazy the the yeah 100% the hanging um the lighting in this movie reminds me of what i used to think of lighting as being like we light movies so bland now and we light them so there's like this even finish. I think whoever lit this film also
Starting point is 01:08:29 needs some of the best lighting I've seen the modern film in a long time. Yeah, yeah absolutely. This is a and two really well chosen music really well chosen physical effects and stuff like that. There's like there there is CG here and there for stuff but it's never distracting but yeah it's never
Starting point is 01:08:45 distracting and there's so much practical blood and gore effects that suture was nasty. Oh yeah but I mean this film like you grab a frame of this it just looks like of those movies that'd be on like a Twitter feed of like perfect shots like it's got such beautiful framing there's nothing nothing wasted yeah and him pulling that dude out of the tank and and leaving him for them was a really see I love that that became a thing too because like in a way they aren't like the rest of the movie but like they're still in conversation via
Starting point is 01:09:14 violence yeah as the movie progresses and I and it's really cool because yeah it does feel like oh man this whole other he's gained something he's empowered these women they're getting to go home you know and they get their vengeance yeah and it's like yeah it's badass and it's a relief and it's like it's so many things and it's great because it doesn't feel like you're losing any
Starting point is 01:09:35 one element of satisfaction for it yeah but yeah there's so much in this movie that's that's big awesome big cathartic just great fights across the board I feel like yeah you could scrub the movie just be like that scene and name everything it's like even now I'm like I feel like I'm forgetting more scenes
Starting point is 01:09:51 of the 17 scenes I just mentioned But yeah, a lot of really brutal kills in this movie. All right, Jay Rushden, question. This movie is basically Metal Gear in Finland. What's your favorite shooter game? Actually, of that genre, Metal Gear. Metal Gear Solid, I guess, specifically. I loved the cardboard boxes, the taking Larazepam, the intensity of it.
Starting point is 01:10:15 I mean, that's where I discovered a lot of, you know, lore around snipers. I love that you use the little, like, you know, D-pad to fight. guy psychically like there's so much to that game that is so genius and inventive uh i i'm a huge metal gear solid guy i haven't played a lot of shooters since that was like in my gaming era i was a big gamer ps2 ps1 twisted metal like that era of gaming was my jam i started making money off of loving like media and then games being the amount of time they are made it prohibitive so i actually don't game anymore but in my youth in high school and stuff middle year solid was a highlight for sure yeah i was definitely a big metal gear person and i could see how this guy has some
Starting point is 01:10:58 you know especially some like snake eater yeah you know a little bit or well i guess he's even older in metal gear four but you know i feel like aren't you in snake eater dealing with the fact that he's like the actual guy or he he's like older i think so i never got to that young because they age weird anyway love metal gear uh it's been a minute since i have been an avid gamer so yeah like I loved resistance Fall of Man, which was like a World War II Alien sci-fi shooter. You know, you got your stuff
Starting point is 01:11:29 like House of the Dead or any of those like You know, first person, POV horror games is always fun. You know, if I'm at an arcade, I always love a time crisis. I like the first Halo a lot when I played at Friends Houses. I was a PlayStation guy, but when they had Xbox's Halo, I remember being cool. Yeah, see, I didn't have
Starting point is 01:11:44 Xbox so like whenever I would go over to whoever's house to when and HALO would be played. It was everybody else had Xbox so they were all good at it I was all full and I was like I live out of the controller like what is this?

Literally this moment. This is, in this moment.
Starting point is 01:13:26 That's so funny. Last thought. Not a hat. I literally saw this poster. I was like, it's the hat posed. Yeah. I forgot a black can play with a hat.
Starting point is 01:13:34 He did stab that dude right through the head. He did. Like right up top. And that's a foreshadow in his first kill. That's where the knife went, but it was in the other guy's head. That is not a hat. That is my last thought.

Starting point is 01:14:25 We're going into the crime underground. And he has to meet other gods. And these guys are also battling. And each of them represents a spiritual violent force that has like no translation into other languages. And then all the women come back and they realize that they were fated to be with them all time. He also frees some children and they kill the Nazis. And then after that, he goes to the. bank and he sets down the giant glowing meteorite that just fell from space and asks them
Starting point is 01:14:54 for the gold from the first movie and it's an Easter egg because the third movie is going to be a time jump back to when he got the gold from the first movie and then new timeline opens up and it's only a sequel to part one anyway thanks for joining us will anyone to be able to separate that audio and hear the two different sagas that I have the stems.
