Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2005)

This movie is amazing. The acting was superb, even the young actors were great in this movie, and most of them have no acting experience. Kurt Russell is great, of course, portraying the perfectionistic Herb Brooks precisely. I love the humor, the heart and passion, and of course, the stories within the bigger one. I especially like Jim Craig's story, with his mother dead and his dad and him having a stronger bond than ever. Eddie Cahill portrayed this to a T. I also love Mike Mantenuto's gritty, determined performance as Jack O'Callahan, and his confrontation with Rob MacClanahan, also vividly played by Nathan West.Overall, I enjoyed this movie, from the heartbreaking moments to the jokes, the games amazingly re-enacted (perfectly!) and the feeling you get after you watch it. I cried after it was over.This movie gets a perfect 10, and more.
