It's time to lock and load, put on your skies and take on The Third Reich. On this weeks show we are N.zi hunting in the Finnish winter with Sisu.
Its World War II, a Finnish commando turned prospector must keep his gold and survive a marauding band of Germans led by a brutal SS officer.
Writer/Director Jalmari Helander drew inspiration from First Blood and Finish Sniper Simo Häyhä. Simo is believed to have killed over 500 enemy soldiers during the Winter War, the highest number of sniper kills in any major war. Because of this, he is often regarded as the deadliest sniper of all time.
Those are some big combat boots to fill!
Was he successful? Or does Sisu win the battle but lose the war.
Only one way to find out.
