Review of Big Game

Big Game (2014)
Another movie with Tough kid(s) that actually delivers...
2 August 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Just saw Final girl (avoid it), Barely Lethal (avoid it too) and some other movies with tough kids. It might be (again) a trend in "Hollywood".

Anyway this is a movie that actually delivers in terms of action and the satisfaction of the audience.

A 13 y.o. boy follows the tradition of his village in northern Finland and as apart of an initiation he must camp in the woods and bring a big game (like a deer) back to his father who is a great hunter. The movie takes a big turn when it is revealed that Air Force One with POTUS in it, is about to crash at the same woods as part of a conspiracy or terrorist act! The young actor Onni Tommila is suitable for the part and manages to deliver a solid performance. The rest of the cast is good too.

You do have some Hollywood type of action (in terms of visuals and unbelievable situations) and you get to see some wild northern forests which make the movie bearable to watch.

Overall: Check it out. It's not great but it delivers some satisfaction to the audience.
