If you have a chance, catch Sisu on Prime before it's taken down. Made in Finland, so there's no recognizable actors, but a lot of action. Lots of Tarantino influence with over the top gore and dark humor.
Great movie on Prime

Started it a while ago. I really enjoyed it. I still need to finish.
Excellent flick, lots of action, "death row humor." Sisu is a real thing in Finland. Joe
I had a bachelor night and had seen footage of the movie come across. I decided to rent it while my wife was out with friends for the evening, she does not appreciate violent movies unless there is a proper story line, go figure. From the violent end it was full of it, I found it a bit over the top and like Rambo he is invincible while being shot at by well trained, seasoned troops. I get the whole SISU thing, he is a legend, but he is only a man.

Is it free of woke cr@p?
Unless killing nazis wholesale in intensely gruesome ways is woke, then no

Tarantino influence isn't exactly a selling point for a film.
Made myself a note to look this one up and watch it.

Not so much an influence as similarities. I was afraid some would take offense to the Tarantino reference, but I just included it because their styles are the same. Lots of gratuitous spraying blood and body parts being thrown asunder.
I especially liked the turn it took when he enlisted the ladies help and they turned the tide on their tormentors. Hell hath no fury…

Tried watching his stuff; almost all of it is horrible and tasteless. He can ruin a potentially good story in short order and usually does.

Thanks. I will see if we can catch this one.
Along this genre, and not woke, there's a good movie that I recommend, loosely based on a true WWII event called The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. I highly recommend!

Just finished watching Sisu on Disney. It's worth a watch.
Found it awhile ago looking for something to watch. I enjoyed it for what it is...
Yes, it is.

Not really. The reason so many poor quality films are made these days is because there are audiences that will watch virtually anything and call it good. Tarantino work is a good example. Sort of like eating fast food daily and calling it delicious.
Actually 2 different actors. Sisu star Jorma Tommila and Polar stars Mads Mikkelsen. Both decent movies.
