This sounds like a blast if you are a fan of brutal simple thriller movies. Basically John Wick vs WWII nazis.

Anyone see this yet? It does not seem to be streaming yet.

Haven’t watched it yet but will when I get a chance, it arrived in theaters here in April so will have to wait for a while for the streaming services. Saw it described as Finnish Tarantino.

Watched it a few days back. Drinker gets his review pretty spot on.

Solid 8/10 from me (its rare for me to score movies above 7 these days).... they really made a good movie (on pretty small budget) that doesnt mess around too much with the basic Rambo/Wick premise...and ungodly amounts of superhero toughness etc to make it work. But it works in a really good way if you are into this genre.

Clint gets his massive Nazi body count in Where Eagles Dare due to most of it being indoors.....but this one did the same with a very different setting. Kudos to the production team.

Good review. But he didn't mention Aimo Alan Koivunen, who could have served as a great example of sheer Finnish bloody mindedness.

I just saw it in a theater, and honestly I thought it was worth it, but expectations are key. Bear in mind its definitely more Tarantino then John Wick in style. Definitely stretched its modest budget very well, until some doggy CGI in the finale.
