The action spectacular of the year stars a 66-year-old man in a speeding truck. "Sisu: Road to Revenge" declares its intention in the title — it's a scrappy, indie translation of "Mad Max: Fury Road."

The year is 1946 and the setting is a stretch of Finland recently absorbed into the USSR. Our hero, a weary Finnish commando named Aatami Korpi (Jorma Tommila), has dirt smudged into every wrinkle of his brow. After spending the war killing Nazis, he could use a nice, hot bath. (You can watch returning director Jalmari Helander's 2022 "Sisu" for that massacre, but I'd just start here.) Copy article link Sign up for our newsletters
