Jalmari Helanderin Go– the film has garnered worldwide fame. American Patton Oswalt, 54, now also known as a stand-up comedian and actor, praises Finnish cinema in his recent Twitter messages.
Oswalt went to see both the new John Wick 4’s that Sisun and says that he liked both action films. He compares John Wick to the music of Pink Floyd and the film Sisu to Iggy Pop or by Jerry Lee Lewis for raw music making.
Oswalt thinks Sisu is like Mad Max: Fury Road but riddled with tanks and landmines and an axe.
– These films are not ashamed to be what they are. They are also beautifully shot, Oswalt writes on Twitter.
Oswalt, who has acted in several Hollywood films, compares Sisu to Mad Max: Fury Road, Iggy and the Stooges’ Raw Power album and Jerry Lee Lewis’s Live at the Star Club album.
– Sisu is from start to finish the beating of the Nazis, shown in detail and violently. This is what America needs right now. I’m sure that Sisu will be successful in cinemas, because that’s what people want now, Oswalt says.
