When Air Force One was shot down by terrorists leave the president of the United States of America stranded in the desert, there’s only one person who can save him – a 13-year-old son named Oskari. In the woods on a hunting mission to prove his maturity to his survivors, has Oskari plan to track down a deer, but instead discovered the most powerful man on the planet in an escape pod. With close the terrorists in their own Big Game prize catch, the unlikely duo must combine to escape their hunters. As anxious Pentagon officials take the campaigning via satellite, it is up to the president and his new side-kick to prove themselves and survive the most extraordinary 24 hours of their lives.
Review :
On route to a pre-G8 summit meeting, the U.S. presidents plane is brought down by a seeming act of terrorism into the dense, mountainous Finnish Lapland, played here by the German Alps much like Norway substituted for Finland in writer-director Jalmari Helanders debut feature RARE EXPORTS. Ejected to safety by his right-hand secret service agent (Ray Stevenson) before the crash, the president (Samuel L. Jackson) finds his only hope of escaping the mountains and forest is a 13-year old boy (Onni Tommila, the star of RARE EXPORTS) undergoing his first solo hunt as a rite-of-passage into manhood. The boy, were shown, doesnt share his fathers legendary skill for huntinghis talent with a bow and arrow tending to land shots well short of their targetsbut when it becomes apparent that the president is being stalked, MOST DANGEROUS GAME style, by a team of slick big game hunters led by a Saudi psychopath (Mehmet Kurtulus) who has paid an exorbitant sum of money for the privilege of stuffing and mounting his prize, the duo must both learn that being tough is equally as crucial as looking tough.Meanwhile, back at Pentagon HQ bunker, the vice president (Victor Garber), his aide (Felicity Huffman), a top general (Ted Levine) and an intelligence expert (Jim Broadbent) pound their fists, actually shout lines like Dear GOD!, order in Chinese take-out, analyze a wall of gigantic satellite monitors and generally deliver Helanders shallow, wholly-derivative and often groan-inducing dialogue with as much professional aplomb as they can muster. With actors like these, all of whom Helander was no doubt able to attract on the charming eccentricity of RARE EXPORTS, audiences bring a lot of subconscious baggage to the table when watching them on deliver mostly and unnecessarily expository dialogue, having seen them play countless similar roles over the years, in effect filling in the blanks left by the writer. Without them, or with lesser actors or, say, Finns playing Americans, the film wouldnt have gotten too deep into the festival circuit (where its currently making the rounds as I write this), or even a DVD/stream release outside of Europe or the Nordic countries, as the primary selling features would be limited to its spectacular visuals, an epic score, and the unique flavour of the indigenous cast. There are plenty of Nordic movies like that already, and theyre largely unknown in North America.Speaking of blanks, there are some big ones in Big Game, including a clearer understanding of the conspiracy thats actually taking place. With straight-up terrorism ruled out very early in the show, and the Chinese-armed Mid-Eastern hunters revealed to be in league with an inside man, it comes as no real surprise that the two halves of the storythe action in the forest and the hand-wringing at the pentagonwill reveal additional villainy afoot (predictably, thats exactly what happens). But when Kurtulus, at long last moving in for the kill on Jackson aboard a sunken Air Force One after much shooting of guns, detonating of explosives, pursuits by helicopters and, at one point, a perilous and logic-defying ride in an airborne-then-waterborne refrigerator (dont ask), suddenly announces that hes on actually on the presidents side (!), but answers Jacksons query of how with an exhausted Its a long story. Maybe later. before resuming his attempt to kill him, it only confirms that Helander hasnt really thought the story through beyond characters and dialogue he purloined from other, superior works. That this exchange is quickly followed by Jacksons trailer-ready, baddie-dispatching quip for the ages proves that Helander is more about hitting the right beats and deploying the expected clichés than shaping character or filling in story, or addressing potentially interesting political subtexts inherent in the situation he created.Make no mistake. This is clearly an amped-up calling card to Hollywood in the wake of the goodwill engendered by his enjoyably quirky …
