everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I'm surprised no one else mentioned this anywhere... Amd as usual, I give very bad reviews to movies that doesn't conclude or that leaves endings to unanswered questions. This movie ends with a villain no one has caught and still alive. And in my opinion, that always ruins a movie.

Without doubt one of the worst films I have ever watched. The idiocy of the premise, script dialogue and direction is beyond compare. It is pure 80s Hollywood cheese in the worst way, without any hint of a knowing wink to the audience that the film isn't taking itself too seriously. It takes itself entirely seriously, despite being utterly preposterous. Oh, and the music is equally awful. I will never get these 90 mins of my life back, don't make the same mistake.

Big Game is a middle of the line movie. It's a straight forward enough plot with no real twists and turns unless you've never seen a movie before.Samuel L. Jackson was good as the President and the best thing about the movie. Onni Tommila, the kid in the film, is alright, providing a serviceable job. Ray Stevenson also played his character just fine. Jim Broadbent was also good, and I kinda just enjoyed him as he breezed through the film.The soundtrack was nothing special at all, barely memorable. Sound effects and design were fine. Cinematography was alright, and the action scenes were never confusing to watch. Nothing was really impressive though, just serviceable.The effects, both CGI and practical, ranged from serviceable to impressive, and were needed to amp up the film as it dragged on a little.The non-action sequences weren't as emotional or heartfelt as they could be and kinda just dragged on for a little too long before the action started to happen again.Overall, this is a time wasting film. Switch off your brain and go have some fun with it. Leave it on in the background or something. 5/10, mediocre.

US President William Alan Moore (Samuel L. Jackson) is considered a lame duck. Air Force One is shot down by terrorists over the wilds of Finland. The President escapes in his pod followed by double agent Morris (Ray Stevenson) from the Secret Service who was the inside man facilitating the attack. It's Oskari's 13th birthday and he's alone on a rite of passage bow hunting trip. He is the first to find the escape pod. The two continue Oskari's trip as Morris leads the terrorists on the hunt. The Vice President (Victor Garber), CIA Director (Felicity Huffman Mr. Herbert (Jim Broadbent), and General Underwood (Ted Levine) are back at the Pentagon. This is a simple action premise. The good news is the great cast of actors. It's shocking to see so many first class actors in this obvious B-movie. The kid is flat, bitter, clueless, and not that appealing. There is some good action but not enough. It also has some silly action which reminds me of "Son of Rambow" about a couple of kids making an action movie. This is not completely bad especially if the expectation is low.
