I was on my own, so picked out what looked like an interesting thriller from Netflix. It tells the story of a Finnish ex-commando who finds some gold at the tail-end of the second world war, and fights through a bunch of universally evil Nazis to get to a bank. Two things interested me about this film (which I enjoyed).
   One: the characters were heavily stereotyped. This could be a problem if the film was meant to be deep and meaningful, but it isn't and so it wasn't.
   Two: the aforementioned super commando says nothing at all until the last twenty second of the film, when he tells a girl at the counter 'Big bills', because the gold has been damned heavy to carry.
   Lots of violent set pieces, which mainly work well. Baddies losing; goodie winning. What's not to like?
