From July 11 onwards, fans of World War II-era action thrillers can now enjoy Sisu on Blu-ray and On Demand. To provide a sneak peek into the movie's exciting bonus features, Screen Rant is thrilled to release an exclusive clip. Sisu captivates war film enthusiasts and action aficionados alike with its compelling storyline centered around ex-commando Aatami (played by Jorma Tommila) and his relentless pursuit of justice. Aatami embodies the ultimate nightmare for any Nazi, delivering vengeance in the nonstop adventure directed by Jalmari Helander from Finland.

These unsuspecting enemies assumed they were robbing an ordinary individual, unaware that Aatami possesses the skills and determination akin to the iconic John Wick. Indulging fans with thrilling action sequences and a satisfying dose of bloodshed, the events that unfold in Sisu promise an electrifying experience. Screen Rant's exclusive clip delves into the mesmerizing action scenes that are sure to leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
More About Sisu's Home Release
The Sisu clip begins with a storyboard that leads to a thrilling explosion from the film. Filmmaker Jalmari Helander aimed to use practical effects whenever possible for a visually superior final product. However, due to time constraints and the challenging wind conditions during filming, the creative team had to rely on VFX at times. Despite this, Director of Photography Kjell Lagerroos shares that a dedicated team successfully brought the pyrotechnics to life, resulting in a seamless collaboration between practical and virtual elements.
Prior to working on Sisu, Helander achieved critical acclaim with his films Big Game and Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. His meticulous attention to detail in large-scale action scenes greatly contributes to his latest success. Additionally, the talented cast, including Tommila as Aatami Korpi, Aksel Hennie as SS Senior Storm Leader Bruno Helldorf, Jack Doolan as Wolf, and Mimosa Willamo as Aino, adds to the film's widespread appeal.
Lionsgate offers an enhanced viewing experience of the war epic for both new and loyal audience members. With the release of Sisu on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™, DVD, and On Demand on July 11, viewers can immerse themselves in the high-definition version of the film. Lionsgate also includes two captivating special features, "Pushing the Boundaries of Reality: The Visual Effects of Sisu" and "Indestructible: Making Sisu," to further engage and entertain audiences.
