Samuel L. Jackson has some of the best facial expressions

Samuel L Jackson returns to the big screen to reprise his role as one of Hollywood’s most infamous tough guys. Best known for his roles in films like Shaft, Star Wars, Avengers, Snakes on a Plane and Black Snake Moan, Jackson returns to take on the rugged countryside of Finland in Big Game alongside Onni Tommila, Ray Stevenson, Victor Garber, Felicity Huffman and Jim Broadbent.


In the action/adventure, a thirteen-year-old (Onni Tommila as Oskari) embarks on a traditional quest to prove himself by spending 24 hours alone in the wild, armed with only a bow and arrow. After witnessing a spectacular crash, he discovers the escape pod from Air Force One, containing the President of the United States (Samuel L. Jackson as William Alan Moore).


When Oskari and President Moore realize a group of kidnappers is hot on their trail with the intention of taking the president, the unlikely duo must escape their hunters as they search for the American Special Forces team sent out to find them.

Rated PG-13, Samuel’s Big Game is definitely a summer blockbuster the whole family can enjoy. Big Game hits theaters and will be presented on VOD and iTunes on Friday, June 26. In the meantime, we’ve complied a pictorial of Jackson’s past tough guy roles. Do you have a favorite?  Check out the gallery.
