Big Game (Action Film - Starring
Samuel L. Jackson)
The President of the United States
(Samuel L. Jackson) is headed to Helsinki for a conference when Air Force One
is shot down over a northern Finland. He
successfully escapes in his pod-like contraption and lands in a remote area of
the vast wilderness. Fortunately Oskari
(Onni Tommila), a boy going on thirteen, is in the woods to hunt big game to
prove to his father and their group that he has become a man. The President and Oskari must test the limits
of their strength and cunning to survive the wild and the men chasing
them. But seriously, wouldn’t bringing
POTUS back alive be the biggest game ever ‘caught’ in Northern Finland?
I really enjoyed this movie. There is the camaraderie, humor and action of
any good buddy movie; and this pair is odder than most. The young actor playing Oskari is wonderful
(you may have seen him before in Rare Exports) and I hope this is the start of
a long career for him. If you are
looking for an action movie with a lot of heart, and a lot of recognizable
faces, add this to your list.
