Every year RD and I do a podcast about looking forward to pop culture in the upcoming year. We cover it all. One of my favorite parts of that pod is when we get to the movies, especially now with theaters reopened. I love going to the movies and searching out new and interesting stories I have never even thought of before.

On social media I have seen a good amount of people I like talking about this movie called "Sisu". This is one of those rare instances when the internet does good and helps me find something I am truly interested in seeing. I always state during those podcast recordings that there will be a movie or movies coming out that I do not know about, but will want to see. "Sisu" falls into this category. All of the social media stuff piqued my interest, but it was a post from Paul F Tompkins that pushed me to watch the trailer. That is the basis for my post today, this trailer. PFT simply stated that people needed to see this movie because it is crazy and awesome. That was all I needed to watch the trailer.

This movie looks absolutely incredible. I watched the trailer multiple times after the initial viewing. I told my dad about it, and after he watched it, I told him we need to see this movie together. For those that may not know, "Sisu" is about a gold miner during World War 2 who finds a big hunk of gold one day during work. It is then revealed that, in order to keep this gold, he has to cross Nazi troops to bring it home to help his family. This is where the trailer starts to go wild, and I loved every single second of it. This main character, this actor, does some wild stuff to these Nazis, and I cannot get enough. It is so wonderful to see awful people get their comeuppance. The guy in the trailer, during his first encounter with a bad guy. takes out a knife and stabs this asshole through the head. I was shocked. I said, "OH MY!" when I saw it for the first time. Then this guy proceeds to destroy these jerks in a plethora of ultra violent ways. There are landmines and bombs and other hand to hand and gun play in this movie. I despise, loathe, guns. But the movies are my way of escaping these things. It is all fake, so I can dissociate easily. It may not be great, but it is better than the alternative. I got crazy "John Wick" vibes from the trailer, and not a second later did a title card come up saying, "From the studio that brought you John Wick". It was only fitting after all the carnage I saw during the two minute trailer.

I simply cannot wait to see this movie. It looks like it is a perfect compliment to "John Wick". It is also 90 minutes long, which makes me even happier. I am trying to find a way to watch it this weekend. I want to see it, but I also want to wait to watch it with my dad. I feel like we share the "John Wick" universe, so why not share "Sisu". But I will soon be watching this movie and I will have a full review.

This is one of the best, and coolest trailers I have seen in quite some time. Search this trailer out, and then go see this movie. It looks like it is going to rule.
