One of the worst movies i have ever seen. it disrespects the power of the US military and the name of Samuel L Jackson. please do your self a favor and don't waste your time on this movie i get they had low budget and couldn't put a lot of people on the set but only like 10 are looking for the president?!

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.

A film that is supposed to show Finland, the land of the thousand lakes, but show the German Alps and a scenery you will have an incredibly hard time finding in Finland. It's like filming a movie about Wall Street in New Dehli. The film contains one token female, the CIA director. The coming of age ritual is stupid and shallow as presented, but so are the Finns that surround the boy - except for his hero father. The mother - or other women in Finland - are never mentioned. But then again neither are the saunas, which shows how little this film is about Finland, in addition to the topographic blunder.This is a movie for boys of all ages, but it contains little of value, other than some suspension in the action scenes. I like some of the one liners, and some of the way the boy acts, but it is hard to see that a boy who starts as a weak loser who is only too aware of his short comings, can suddenly - in the middle of the German ("Finlandian") wilderness - become so street smart and over power a state leader in rhetoric and puns, and that in an English too good for a Finn hunter boy of 13.I know, this is a movie for boys, I know, and yet I would have hoped for more depth and realism, so that there was more tension and actual suspense, so that we were actually a little scared and moved emotionally. Or, the action could have been taken to an even funnier caricature, made more cartoon like and given us more laughter. As it is, the movie falls between two chairs.

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.
