Do dogs die in Sisu? HITC investigates Sisu in full with spoilers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a movie gets compared to John Wick then you know you\u2019re going to be in very good hands. Good hands. Not necessarily deadly hands.<\/p>\n

The Keanu Reeves revenge extravaganza has since been followed by three sequels and arguably revitalized audiences\u2019 appetite for the genre, with efforts like Nobody catering to this hunger. Sisu is the latest film to achieve this.<\/p>\n

Directed by Jalmari Helander, the historical action movie takes place in Finnish Lapland during World War II and focuses on a gold prospector, Aatami Korpi, who strives to recover his gold when it\u2019s taken by a Nazi death squad.<\/p>\n

Hellbent on taking them out and reclaiming his treasure, a violent bloodbath ensues, inevitably opening up the floor to a question that animal lovers won\u2019t be able to stop themselves from asking: Does the dog die in Sisu?<\/p>\n

SISU SPOILERS: WARNING!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is the dog dead in Sisu?<\/h2>\n

No, Aatami\u2019s dog ultimately survives the many ordeals of Sisu, but it\u2019s definitely a close one.<\/p>\n

Aatami, a lonely man in Lapland who lives with his dog is introduced at the start of the film. When he is forced to fight Nazis in an all-out battle, his dog joins him.<\/p>\n

As the plot thickens, the Nazi soldiers use their own dogs to get Aatimi\u2019s scent and they set off on a trail that leads to him. He\u2019s clever enough to use gasoline to disguise his scent and throw the canines off.<\/p>\n

Aatimi is also found and Aatimi lights himself on fire to keep the thugs away, before leaping into a nearby lake. Bruno the Nazi finds him, but it’s too late. He has lost his dog. He decides to fit a grenade to the dog\u2019s collar and sends him to find Aatami. The pair reunite, but Aatami is able to save his friend\u2019s life, although he himself is left damaged in the explosion.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, they both make it out alive\u2014much to the glee of audiences.<\/p>\n

\u2018Cutest dog I have ever seen in a movie\u2019<\/h2>\n

Audiences have wasted no time in reacting to the Sisu dog on Twitter, and it\u2019s clear that some are pretty smitten.<\/p>\n
