I find John Wick movies as stressful as binge watching Shawn Henedy.

As a Finnish-American, I am certain I will like the movie. My grandmother grew up in Lapland (Lappi). It's some wild, wild country. I hadn't heard of the movie, but it's on my list now.

And if you like realistic war movies, screen the 1989 Finnish classic Talvisota (The Winter War), how the greatly outnumbered Finns (including one of my grandfathers) held off the Red Army and kicked bubblegum on the Soviets. Oh, yeah, they held off the Nazis, too. Look up Simo Häyhä, one of the greatest snipers in 20th century military history.

Cool! I like Askel Hennies work. I'll look for it on netflix.

As yet another aside, the Finnish word Sisu is roughly translated as being s a unique Finnish concept that can be translated into English as strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity.

My Grandpa Toivo stated it simply, saying it meant, "Grit."

For anyone who has not been to Finland, do it! Take the commuter train around the country, it is stunning much like Scandinavia.

…..but do they use HK's?

 

[RedRover]

Look up Simo Häyhä.

'White Death'.

 

[Stomper]

…..but do they use HK's?

Better…. they use Sako's and Tikka's

If I am not mistaken, Sisu was the motto of the recently closed Suomi College in Michigans Upper Penninsula.

I always wanted to see a movie about what motivates the bad guys to want to go after the John Wick characters and shoot poorly and die in huge numbers. The lower level cannon fodder guys.

Obviously they wanted to be Star Wars stormtroopers as children.

Trailer looks pretty sick….. thx
I get gold fever watching people find it on YouTube or TV….. got to get my pans out and hike it the Washington woods to find what dust is left.

 

[The Heretic]

At first I thought it was some kind of parody or take off of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, but then it got really heavy into the action.

I assume this is going to come out in theaters, then maybe pay for view.

I look forward to it.

'White Death'.

Almost makes Hathcock or Kyle look like pikers.

…..but do they use HK's?

Nope. It's kinda too bad the mil-surp collectors discovered how good the Finnish Mosins are, getting harder to find.

But for you AK fans, the Valmet (made by Sako) is arguably the best AK in existence. I think it's been in service since the mid-60s, and there's a civilian version as well that's really popular.

Yes, very sad, that -- I had a couple friends that matriculated at Suomi (before it became Finlandia). The word's meaning, to a Finn, represents what's in the heart of every Finn - guts, resolve, resilience. Pride and a national spirit, things I fear most Americans have lost.

I look forward to it.

Definitely.

I'ma gonna wanna see that... yeah...

Zomg I just watched the trailer; I'm in!

The JW got a little out there with each movie.. but we're still dumb fun. The deaf and blind assassins were a bit much.. then again the entire series was still pretty over the top.. but good dumb fun.

This Sisu movie looks good for a nice action movie, I'll be seeing it.
