r96 s An enthralling watch. 2017's 'Unknown Soldier' is excellent. To make a three hour run time go by in a flash is no easy task, but that's exactly what occurred for me whilst watching this - I probably could've taken another hour, it's that good. I was locked in, what helps is the film wastes no time and gets straight into the core of the story - and doesn't let up until the credits. Eero Aho is sensational as Antero Rokka, what a great performance both physically and emotively - such a memorable character. Aho is the standout, though by no means gives the only noteworthy showing. Jussi Vatanen as Ville and Johannes Holopainen as Jorma are superb too. Credit is due for the whole cast, in fairness. Every sequence hits as intended, the effects are convincing and the horrors of war are shown all too well. Pacing-wise, as alluded to at the top of my review, is perfection. The film only follows the Finnish side, as one would expect given it's a Finnish production, but does an admirable job at showing their good and bad elements. These next words will come as no surprise: I'd undoubtedly recommend that you watch this. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Darren B This is a well-made film. It effectively portrays the brutality of war as well as its absolute futility in this case. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Aron Johansson A brilliant and heartbreaking war movie for anyone interested in the finnish perspective in ww2.

Enjoy Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/14/23 Full Review yukiko h I cried a little after watch this movie . Finland people , women or men had fought to USSR by their entire lives among Nazis Deutschland and USSR . After all , Finland had to close to Nazis Deutschland for against USSR . It was and it's too hard to defense to Russia by long border line . Why Russian always such a horrible mind is ? It seems ridiculously . Finland or Ukraine has the rights of their " Independence " as country . Many Suomi soldiers were dying or injured next to next was actual history . Now a day , Finland or Sweden doesn't join NATO as their decisions as Russia's next country . I'm emotional a little by their fighting with empathy . Finland and Sweden or Norway keep to be good economy countries to their national defense , I think . Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
