影評:
• 「《雄獅之心》是一部扣人心弦又令人揪心的佳作⋯⋯」彼得方贊以出色的演技飾演一個不討喜的角色,亞斯佩爾派科寧飾演他深受困擾的弟弟,表現一樣優秀。亞斯佩爾派科寧憑這個角色贏得了芬蘭奧斯卡獎最佳男配角獎,他把這個角色演得活靈活現,尤其打鬥場面看起來真實得嚇人。」
Synopsis
Teppo meets and falls in love with the beautiful blonde Sari. But this is to be no ordinary love affair. Teppo is a central figure in a neo-Nazi group and when he meets Sari’s son, he is in for a big surprise. Sari’s son is called Rhamadhani and he is black. Naturally for Teppo this is a huge dilemma. On the one hand he has this passionate love affair with a wonderful woman, and a chance to fulfil dreams of parenting and family, and on the other a long held belief based on discrimination, ignorance and hatred. When Sari gets pregnant Teppo decides to do his best to make peace with Rhamadhani. With his brother and his old Nazi group threatening over his shoulder, he is forced to make a stand. It's a simple choice between love or hate.

Reviews
• “Heart of a Lion is as gripping as it is exhaustingly disturbing… Franzén’s performance of a largely unlikeable character is excellent, as is Pääkkönen as his deeply disturbed brother. The latter won a Jussi (Finland’s Oscars) for Best Supporting Actor in this role, and it’s easy to see why; the character, particularly in the fight scenes, seems frighteningly real.”
