What to Know

Critics Consensus

Big Game's enthusiastic throwback vibe will appeal to fans of low-budget '80s action movies, but co-writer/director Jalmari Helander adds a level of smarts and skill that make it more than just an homage.

Peter Howell Toronto Star The story penned by Helander with Petri Jokiranta goes heavy on the hokum, not to mention the CGI fireworks, but a dialled-down Jackson and a fired-up Tommila make for an entertaining pair. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 9, 2015 Full Review Peter Sobczynski RogerEbert.com There are times when it seems impossible that it could possibly exist as a real thing and not just as a parody trailer that accidentally got inflated to feature length. Rated: 2/4 Jun 26, 2015 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom The storyline is far from fresh. But the location is, and it is excitingly filmed and engagingly performed. Rated: B Jun 25, 2015 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson It might be so incredibly terrible that it's too bad to ever become a "so-bad-it's-good" guilty pleasure and cult favorite. Rated: 0/5 Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Cory Woodroof PopMatters Once and awhile, it's nice to have a movie stick around for exactly the right amount of time. Rated: 7/10 Feb 10, 2022 Full Review Tim Brennan About Boulder The real shame is that Jackson and Tommila have a prickly chemistry together, and it would have been special had it not been in a movie that sucked quite as hard.

Bob S This is a really bad movie. Don't waste your time. In the first 10 minutes, you may think "Meh it is not that bad". Than you will regret think it afterward. It feels like a bad joke all along. Not even entertaining. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Alessandro Ramon T This is a story that is far from being original but still manages to entertain, especially thanks to its fantastic settings. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Sam's Emergency V Boring Movie, Not Very Exciting Interesting Or Action Packed. One Of Worst Movies Ever Don't Watch This Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Caçada ao Presidente Assistido: 18-9-23 Elenco: @samuelljackson @onnitommila Modelo: #conspiração #ação #action Duração: 1h 50m Ano: 2014 Minha opinião: Sabemos que atores de grande prestigio tenha em seu curriculim alguns filmes que não condiz com a sua estrela. Geralmente isso ocorre no inicio da carreira. Quantos casos conhecemos? Aqui foi um caso de ter escolha errada para sua grade de grandes filmes na vida Samuel e ainda fazendo um papel de 2º protagonista. Um filme ao estilo classe B ou C. A estoria conta do jovem Oskari que é um índio americano, que para passar a maior idade com louvor tem uma missão de caçar um alce. Como todos da sua tribo faz. Inseguro mas determinado a não desonrar o legado da família, ele vai enfrentar os medos. Samuel faz o papel do presidente da America, que sofre um atentado e cai na montanha onde esta Oskari. Samuel é traído por um de seus guarda costa. E agora Presidente e OSkari devem criar um laço de confiabilidade e lutar contra os mercenários que querem raptar o presidente. O não crível e ver mercenários com metralhadoras, grandas, enfrentar um idoso, criança com arco e flecha. Me remete ao filme do Predador que luta com uma adolecente com um machado. E imagine quem vence. Acredito que se olharmo o filme com um publico, infanto juvenil seja melhor. Roteiro e enredo razoável, mas não crível. Vale apena assistir? Só se você quiser relaxar sua mente. Nota: 4 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review mike s great movie for a young boy to watch= sent into the woods to prove he is a man to hunt game= he comes apon the president of the USA- Samuel Jackson who terrorists, hired by the CIA downed his plane trying to kill him- the kid tries to rescue the president as they are being hunted also- great soundtrack Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Ted B 2.5 stars; Set was a pretty good plot line, And there was a lot of action to go long with it.. Samuel Jackson basically did a walk-- through performance. I enjoyed the action so I gave it 2 and a half stars.. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
