pretty good

Rating: 8/10 (14 April 2009)

I was really excited for this to come out because I heard stories about this event from my dad when I was growing up, who went to that fateful game. Kurt Russell did a great job as Herb Brooks and even got the accent down pretty well. The players didn't do too awful given that they aren't actors; they're actually real players (besides the goalie). I've watched the actual game on tape and the one in the movie is stunningly close. They must have worked really hard to make that happen. All in all a very good movie. By the way, some tool in another post complained that they didn't know the game was about to end because it was the end of the 3rd period and there was a period 4 on the scoreboard (for basketball). If you don't know the absolute basic rules of the sport you're watching, don't blame the sport. Did you realize they were on ice or not?
