UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Sisu -- in 4k UHD (1 Viewer)

[Robert Harris]

An interesting 4k UHD release from Lionsgate, and an unusual film from Finland, not to be confused with Greenland.

A very simple plot. End of WWII. A retired commando has left the battles and found a major gold strike as a protector.

All's well until a group of Nazis (real ones) attempt to make off with his loot. They find that it's not a great idea. Well handled by director Jalmari Helander.

Quite low budget, shot in Lapland (Finland), with some quite beautiful cinematography. While the violence is in hyper-drive, there's a story holding it together - one of the problems I had with John Wick 4, which I found unwatchable.

For the genre, and as a film arriving from Finland, it's not a bad way to spend 90 minutes, and looks superb in 4.

Audio – 5 (5.1 Dolby TrueHD)

Pass / Fail – Pass

Plays nicely with projectors - Yes

Makes use of and works well in 4k - 7

Worth your attention - 6

Slipcover rating - 3 (attractive, reflective under-layer)

I can’t believe they withheld the ATMOS track as it was heard in theaters and is on the digital 4K version. Why?

I was going to buy this but will just wait for a digital sale.

I watched this the other night. I loved it - it was pretty much what I was expecting.

I was very impressed with the sound and video.
