If you love action movies and haven’t seen the original Sisu, stop everything you’re doing and find a way to watch it. The film follows Aatami Korpi (Jorma Tommila), a Finnish gold miner living alone in the wilderness in 1944 with his dog and horse. He strikes some serious gold and starts heading back to civilization to cash in. There’s just one problem: he runs into a platoon of SS Nazis, and they want that gold real bad.
They think they’re lifting this gold off a feeble old man, but they discover that Korpi is a former Finnish Army commando whose exploits fighting the Soviets are the stuff of both legend and nightmare. What ensues is 90 minutes of good-old-fashioned, blood-and-guts action where Nazis get what’s coming to them. Think of Rambo meets Indiana Jones with a simple, yet effective delivery that’s an absolute blast. That’s why I’m thrilled for the release of the sequel Sisu: Road to Revenge in theaters on Thursday, November 21.

We should expect more of the same excitement in the sequel, where Korpi is back after the war to go after the Soviets, including an always-grumpy-looking Stephen Lang:
So, what does “Sisu” mean? I’m so glad you asked. It is a Finnish word that loosely translates to a term for determination, grit, bravery, and resilience. Basically, everything we see Korpi demonstrates in scene after scene. Makes you wonder: how do we all demonstrate “Sisu” in our everyday lives? Thankfully, we don’t have to deal with fighting Nazis and lugging gold through harsh tundras. That’s why we put our heads together and created a compilation of “Everyday Sisus” that we’ve all probably experienced at one point or another:
