Big Game Film Review

Finished watching Big Game, directed by Jalmari helander and staring Onni Tommila, Jorma Tommila, Samuel L Jackson and Ray Stevenson. The film opens to a cabin in Finland where Oskari (Onni Tommila) is with his Farther (Jorma Tommila) as Oskari prepares to take part in the family tradition of hunting a wild animal in the nearest forest in order to become a man in the eyes of his culture. Meanwhile the American President William Moore (Samuel L Jackson) is aboard Air Force One heading to an international conference when the plane is blown out of the sky over Finland with the President being parachuted down into the forest within a decontaminationtion space shuttle. Once William gets out of the shuttle thanks to the help of Oskari they embark on their journey to complete Oskari's hunt and keep William safe from his pursuers which includes his bodyguard Morris (Ray Stevenson) who has double crossed him as they try to reach the campsite where Oskari's father is. Overall this was a good film, Samuel L Jackson's character is very different to the characters he's commonly known to play as William is not a physical fighter and more like a typical politician. Oskari takes most of the films spotlight as its more his story with William playing more of a mentor role to him. 7/10.
