This is a very slick-looking film with stylish lighting, effective action scenes, and fluid camera work.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While browsing for movies at Walmart, I came across a curious box cover. The Blu-ray art was very reminiscent of The Dark <\/em><\/strong>Knight<\/i><\/b>\u2019s cover art: A masked figure in black leather is looking down at the camera with flames behind him to his left. The back of the box read \u201cFrom the mind of visionary writer\/director Jesse Haaja comes the very first full-length superhero film from Finland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I was intrigued. Superhero films have become so commonplace in American cinema that I thought it would be interesting to see what a Finnish superhero film would be like. Would it just try to copy the American formula? Would it add something special to the mix?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story is about an evil corporation named VALA that has started producing an untested vaccine. They\u2019re driven by profits and are selling the drug to African countries with little regard to the side effects. (It was a bit difficult to tell exactly what the vaccine was supposed to do as the film is in Finnish with English subtitles.  Unfortunately, documents and newspapers that are shown on camera are not translated, so it felt like some detail was literally lost in translation.) The corporation has in its employ some serious thugs who are prone to violence and murder if it helps to increase their bottom line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stepping up to stop the production of this vaccine \u2013 and the company\u2019s unscrupulous methods \u2013 is a masked hero who calls himself Rendel. (The origin of the name is explained in the film, so I won\u2019t give it away.) Rendel dons a mask\/helmet hybrid, a black biker jacket, black pants and boots and begins beating the bad guys \u2013 sometimes to death \u2013 trying to get them to change their business model. Who he is and how he came to be is something that the film explains in due time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing that immediately struck me about Rendel: Dark Vengeance<\/em><\/strong>, aside from it being a Finnish superhero film, is that it resembles superhero films of the late 1990s. It\u2019s not massive in scale or attempting to be an epic. It\u2019s about a hero who has one goal in mind and he will stop at nothing until that goal is achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t think of any superhero movie that I\u2019ve ever seen before that didn\u2019t include any noticeable CGI. It\u2019s one man against many. No aliens or robots or supernatural elements. Just a good guy vs. bad guys in really intense physical combat. I\u2019m sure there is CGI in the movie — even dramas these days have CGI for some reason — but any CGI in Rendel was done so for aesthetic purposes and not to turn this into a blockbuster-type epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans of martial arts movies should appreciate this film\u2019s style. While it\u2019s not as choreographed as some genre films are these days, most of the action is hand-to-hand fighting. It\u2019s rather visceral as much of the combat is between very large, stocky men who like to repeatedly punch other men in the face. It\u2019s not excessively gory but there is a lot of brutality that could shock those used to Marvel and DC\u2019s usual sanitized brand of violence. Think more like The Punisher: War Zone<\/em><\/strong> or Logan<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently, Finland does not produce large budget films as a rule. Rendel<\/em><\/strong> is a modest production but the smaller budget doesn’t mean that this movie looks cheap. Far from it. This is a very slick-looking film with stylish lighting, effective action scenes, and fluid camera work. It never exhibits that shaky-cam feel of cheaper all-digital productions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The characters are surprisingly well written but the dialogue delivery falls flat. Some actors alternate between English and Finnish and the English delivery sometimes sounds like it was spoken phonetically. I can\u2019t comment on the Finnish dialogue but the English subtitles occasionally don\u2019t make a lot of sense. So you have to piece scenes together on your own. Thankfully, since the story is so simple, there\u2019s little chance that you\u2019ll find yourself confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I liked that Rendel\u2019s motivation was much more focused than big-budget superheroes. He\u2019s not trying to stomp out evil everywhere. He\u2019s more like Daredevil in that he stays in his neighborhood and does what he can to stop the local bad guys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rendel, as a character, doesn\u2019t have a lot of personality but the film does have a sense of humor. I\u2019ll let you discover that part of the film on your own. It\u2019s not hilarious but it does feature at least one laugh-out-loud moment and several well-earned giggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, sure, there are some action movie clich\u00e9s present \u2013 like the ever-popular \u201cguy walking away from an explosion without reacting\u201d shot \u2013 but, overall, Rendel<\/em><\/strong> overcomes its shortcomings by being fun and exciting without trying to overreach its grasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Finland\u2019s first superhero movie is a winner in my eyes. I\u2019d love to see a sequel as long as it keeps things as focused and powerful as the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
