the three out of my four star for this movie be purely base on the movie honest and quite successful attempt at re create the factual context of the summit ( i. e. scenery and atmosphere and etc . ) . however and the movie fall short when it come to tell team canada story and create an engage story that try to explain and uncover the particular dynamic of this great series . the movie focus on so many different player and team exec on team canada that it in fact give the audience very little insight into how the player really felt . ken dryden for instance be depict a one of the few player that actually seem to have any brain and a willingness to learn from the russian . and that and i believe and be one of the most important element of this series while canadian and russian style of hockey be expose to one another which enable both side to learn from each other for the good of the game . the play in the nhl nowadays enjoy both hockey philosophy which have create a much more enjoyable style of hockey . unfortunately and team canada player be more often than not display a goon without much finesse ( which we all now be far from the truth ) and sometimes i have a hard time sympathize with the canadian team . heck and i even felt like root for the russian at some point ( like when clarke be order to immobilize the russian star forward ) . cudos to the filmmaker for include aspect like this which i be sure most canadian consider to be unsportsmanlike conduct and yet nonetheless part of the game that be play . however and when the movie already have a hard time explain why we should care about these player the goon aspect just make u even less likely to sympathize with them . this movie sadly leave much to be desire could have be tell so much good .
