THE POOP SCOOP: Summer Mayhem Edition

SISU on 4K UHD and Blu-ray July 11 from Lionsgate.
Arriving July 11 on 4K and Blu-ray, Lionsgate presents, in association with Stage 6 Films, Sisu, a Subzero Film Entertainment production, in association with Good Chaos. During the last desperate days of WWII, a solitary prospector (Jorma Tommila) crosses paths with Nazis on a scorched-earth retreat in northern Finland. When the Nazis steal his gold, they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner. While there is no direct translation for the Finnish word "sisu", this legendary ex-commando will embody what sisu means: a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds. And no matter what the Nazis throw at him, the one-man death squad will go to outrageous lengths to get his gold back – even if it means killing every last Nazi in his path.
