Like thunder through the skull

Supposedly the first Finnish superhero movie. Much like Punisher, Daredevil or Batman, the masked avenger from Mikkeli, Grendel, eliminates people from criminal organizations and vanishes into the shadows. The movie has been received badly, a few brave or bribed critics have given 4-star reviews, but mostly it's bombed with ridicule. I understand the criticism, it by no means is a proper film, reeks of amateurism. But I kinda like the clumsy and not-so-serious approach because it was damn funny at times. Hopefully they will go on with the project, make sequels, I'd even write an own movie of Rendel's nemesis Rotikka (excellent Rami Rusinen), he was a funny fucker.
