Miracle

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2005)

This film is by far the Greatest Sports movie ever! it goes behind the helmets of team USA and shows you the men who wore them.Even though i was not alive in 1980 i have seen the actual "miracle on ice" archive footage,and i must say that this film is impeccably accurate.Gavin O'Connor has managed to make the audience feel like they went back in time and are witnessing the miracle all over again.I was extremely impressed to learn that the actors chosen to portray the 1980's U.S team were in fact hockey players first, who were taught to act.The action scenes in this film are intricate and will make you want to jump out of your seat cheering the U.S on even though you already know what's going to happen.I have based my own school film project off of Jack O'Callahan, one of the miracle players and this film was a great help. Even if you don't come away from this film with a passion to pick up a stick and lose some of your teeth, you can at least sleep better at nights knowing that there are no more long gas lines!
