"When we get back they will hang us all"
I was exhausted by the end of the film but it was a nice tiredness like the one you have at the end of a gruelling walk. The story is simple, a Finnish prospector trying to get his gold back from the Nazi soldiers who stole it from him. But the prospector is no ordinary man. He is a legendary ex-soldier given the name 'The Immortal' and he is played splendidly by Jorma Tommila. You feel every wound he gets but that does not impede him, he has 'sisu'! The other cast members do well, particularly Aksel Hennie as the soldier in command Bruno and Mimosa Willamo as Aino who isn't in it that much but makes her presence felt. Her speech about why she was laughing is compelling. The action is awesome, the cinematography excellent and the bleak Lapland landscape adds to the gritty ambience. I was gripped all the way through. - Mcduff3601 - 23 April 2024
An entertaining John Wick style action flick
This is purely a revenge/vengeance type movie, there are no surprises or twists. You have you main character who is introduced as a sad solitary guy with a past full of violence and ghosts. This is all just talked about between characters.
They introduce the baddies... Nazis, I mean who doesn't like seeing them get their butts handed to them. The pacing is pretty good nothing drags. I was really surprised by some of the imagery and shots in this movie. They were epic or haunting, something more belonging to an art piece.
This movie delivers on entertainment and is like most other action flicks, the McDonalds of the movie industry. You consume it and forget about it because it satiated you for the moment but is nothing that you would remember fondly. - serkankaplanfilm - 14 March 2024
Incredibly ridiculous
Except for some scenes, ridiculous hollywood imitations that are completely disconnected from reality, et cetera, et cetera.. This is not a comedy model, not an action model, not a war model...The Finns should also be the ones who give high marks.. A man is bleeding violently , he is covered with deep cuts everywhere, a rope is passed around his neck and he is hanged, he comes out alive hours later, the plane falls to the ground, our grandfather is alive again... The person who wrote this script has never researched how long a person who is executed survives, how long he stays under the water the longest, does he not know that the probability of surviving a crashed plane is one in a million... Again, I respect labor, I give 5 points.
