A good movie, but there are some drawbacks

Rating: 7/10 (7 April 2007)

The movie is very entertaining and the actors are good. The story and some comments are quite naive, but you must remember this is a movie of ice-hockey. I remember watching these games on TV, and there's something I must say:

the peak of this movie is the USA vs Soviet Union game, and as a Finn I must point out that USA still had Finland to beat in the last game - there was no material in the movie of the USA-Finland game, and it really was a tough game for both teams (Finland scored first, USA finally won 4-2, the third US goal (by McClanahan) was clearly scored offside

USA deserved the Olympic gold, it was far and away the best team of the tournament.
Hey movie makers! Make a movie of the 1960 Olympic hockey games, that would be something different!
