Movie Reviews of Miracle (Widescreen Edition)

Movie Review: And they used the original sound track...
Summary: 5 Stars

There a lot of great reviews out there for what is one of our top favorite flicks, but I don't seem to see what I thought was a great part of the production. I recently bought the video of the original game...which I can remember seeing like it was yesterday. We were shocked to find that the sound track from the original broadcast was used 100% in the movie, not an easy trick because the action then had to match what the announcers had said. This makes for a surprisingly real reproduction. And the Russian coach in the movie is dead ringer for the real guy who has to be seen to be appreciated.

Summary of Miracle (Widescreen Edition)

The miracle about Miracle is that it gets so many details right in telling its 24-year-old story about the historic victory of the U.S. hockey team at the 1980 Olympic Games. It's typical for Hollywood to compromise such period details as hairstyles and fashion when catering to a contemporary audience, but Miracle looks and feels right in every detail, capturing the downbeat mood of post-Watergate America while showing how obsessively determined Minnesota hockey coach Herb Brooks (Kurt Russell) managed to assemble a once-in-a-lifetime team and whip them into a victorious frenzy over their Soviet champion opponents. With sharp support from Patricia Clarkson (as Brooks's wife) and Noah Emmerich (as his long-suffering assistant), Russell grounds the film with a well-balanced combination of aloofness, intimidation, and closely guarded strategy. No doubt the real Brooks (who died in a car accident shortly after filming completed) would have approved. Thanks to director Gavin O'Connor (Tumbleweeds) and the producers of the similarly laudable sports films Remember the Titans and The Rookie, Miracle brings plenty of heart--and historical accuracy--to an old, familiar formula. --Jeff Shannon
In Cold War-era America, the United States Olympic hockey team struggles to defeat the seemingly indestructible Russian Olympic hockey team.
