Big Game Audience Reviews

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
mikkopenttieinarieronen Not every movie can or even should contain a dark, deep and serious story. This kind of campy movies are needed to keep the balance, I wish they would make more of these, perhaps a bit more balanced between drama and comedy. The silly lines delivered in this movies made me smile, mission accomplished. The whole situation they got into was silly, but that is why it works.I would like to enlighten a possible reader with a few points on how this movie was deliberately shows as to "how Finland looks in American movies". First of all, that is not how Lapland really looks like. Also they were flying to Helsinki and while still above Lapland, the pilot points out they are about ~45 miles to begin the landing to Helsinki, if that were minutes instead it might be more accurate. Those small lines make the whole point of how silly this movie is, in a good way.But the interesting thing is that there is swearing and some blood and gore in the movie. I would say this movie is somewhat a nod towards all the campy action movies that display world and situations in inaccurate ways, but still make them work.I can recommend this movie to anyone who seeks a change for all the over-dark stories in movies these days we are being flooded with.It is a solid six, fun to watch, campy, ridiculous situations, must have been fun to make.
Stephen Bird Quite possibly and highly probably Samuel L Jackson is the greatest and coolest president ever depicted on film.Big Game is old school action/adventure and a whole lot of fun, it takes me back to the days of Bruce Willis and Harrison Ford where the action was camp but so-so much better than it is today. Big Game doesn't try too hard, it's cheap-no thrills and that's what makes it so good. If you tried to analyse and pick the film apart then there wouldn't be a whole lot left, it has a lot of flaws but who cares, a proper popcorn munching, sit back and enjoy flick perfect for a rainy night. The story seems butchered, so basically a psychopath with no real motives wants the president as a trophy, to be stuffed like an animal and presented in his home for his friends to gaze at..., he's enlisted the help of an insider who works for the president by buying him off, and the duo set out to capture the most important man in the world. Applause must go out to the young Onni Tommila who plays the Finnish lad , this brave young guy saves the president initially and sticks with him throughout, time and time again being there for him, helping him escape capture and fight off the baddies..., the part was acted very well and Onni Tommila deserves commending.For the sake of not ruining a nice film, I'm not going to go into detail about the flaws and I'm not going to suggest any room for improvement, let it be and leave it as it is.Sam Jackson is one of my all time favourites, his screen presence is terrific and he has one of the most iconic and recognisable voices in cinema, a perfect fit to play a very different president and to give his own unique spin on the role.
Sara Well the thing that don't understand why the did not make it a children's movie. It would by for children a really good movie a young boy saves the president form the bad guys. Unfortunately it is definitely not a movie for children and nobody seems in this movie have a clue if there are performing in a comedy or in action thriller. I don't now why but i can hate this movie it's annoying sometimes, but over all it's fun to watch.
rahatkhandkr91 I have seen this film a number of times now, and have not grown to become sick of it.First review I write, will recommend this to any family and anybody great movie one of the best Disney movies I've watched...Brought my kids to watch it and think I enjoyed itGive much props to writers producer and all involved well made and put together probably best movie and there are plenty of good ones out there. one of the best stories presented on the big screen in the past decade, unbelievable acting by each and every member of the cast.Rating isn't everything this movie is one of the best I have ever seen, and in the end It made me cry. Ovbiously, this movie isn't as perfect as Hollywood Oscar winners but It deserves many Oscars. While the topic of the movie is serious, the movie is very funny and also involves action.i just can say that you have to watch this movie. just go and watch it, it makes you happy at the end.
