If you think that sounds like a decent trade-off for 91 minutes’ worth of brainless midnight fun, then I’ve got some good news for you: “Sisu” does exactly what it says on the tin. Straightforward and unpretentious to the point that its hero doesn’t isn’t even afforded dialogue - let alone a meaningful character arc - this is the kind of movie that starts with a tank fighting a gold miner before escalating to “Dr. “All killer, no filler” would be a wildly generous way of describing Helander’s latest bid for an international breakout (previous efforts include the fun Christmas chiller “Rare Exports” and the “fun” Samuel L.
