When Air Force One is shot down by terrorists leaving the President of the United States stranded in the wilderness, there is only one person around who can save him - a 13-year old boy called Oskari. In the forest on a hunting mission to prove his maturity to his kinsfolk, Oskari had been planning to track down a deer, but instead discovers the most powerful man on the planet in an escape pod. With the terrorists closing in to capture their own "Big Game" prize, the unlikely duo must team up to escape their hunters. As anxious Pentagon officials observe the action via satellite feed, it is up to the President and his new side-kick to prove themselves and survive the most extraordinary 24 hours of their lives.
Leave your thoughts about Big Game.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's far from original, but helmer Jalmari Helander successfully simulates the spirit of high-octane adventure for the PG-13 crowd. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleGleefully dumb but eager to entertain, this is cheeseball stuff baked with deliciously outsized performances and low comedy and photographed across mighty beautiful landscapes. |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterBig Game never aims higher than slight entertainment, and it achieves that goal. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowThe storyline is far from fresh. But the location is, and it is excitingly filmed and engagingly performed. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA silly, campy, delightfully implausible and unrepentant B-movie. If you liked Samuel L. Jackson in Snakes on a Plane and Kingsman, you'll love him in this! |
| Consequence of SoundDon R. LewisAt its core, Big Game is really for 10-16 year old boys who are stuck inside their house over summer vacation watching TV. Its earnest silliness almost works, but the awful CGI and Jackson's scenery chewing never jell. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedWhile the folks back at the Pentagon say stuff like “Where are our Navy Seals?” the audience is treated to jaw-dropping action sequences, enhanced by awesome special effects and staggering cinematography. |
| Irish TimesDonald ClarkeIt's not entirely clear how much of Big Game is funny on purpose, but it hardly matters when the action is so slick and the dialogue so ripe. |
| Digital SpySimon ReynoldsThis is a cheap and charming throwback to action movies of the '80s and '90s, an era before spandex-clad superheroes dominated the multiplexes. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayA total blast with the potential to become a favorite of pre-teen boys the world over. |
