Exciting

Rating: 8/10 (23 February 2004)

Wow! A good action sports movie. Nice camera work during the practices and games. Watched that game in 1980 and remember Al Michael's "Do you believe in miracles? YES!!" Along with the scene of Jim Craig searching out his father after the game with the flag draped on his shoulder.

Despite knowing the outcome of the game, this movie still grabbed me and drew me into it as if I did not know what happened (reminiscent of "Apollo 13"). Nice to see the movie show how hard team USA had to work and practice and how Herb Brooks chose the players to represent the U.S. in the Olympics.

The supporting cast also was quite good with their performances, collectively might be worth a mention as best supporting actors when next years awards season comes around.
