The miracle aboutMiracleis 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, butMiraclelooks 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 filmsRemember the TitansandThe Rookie,Miraclebrings plenty of heart--and historical accuracy--to an old, familiar formula.--Jeff Shannon
Well done I felt this movie was very well done. Of course, everyone knows the story and a few points in the USSR/USA game and after the Norway exhibition were changed, but the movie is still quite exciting and entertaining. The sports scenes were made very well and Kurt Russell portrays Herb brooks honorably. As this just isn't a sports movie, I recommend this movie to everyone.
Miracle Great movie based on a true story. You don't have to be a sports fan or a hockey fan to realize the amazing effort put into the team in 1980. Shows grit and determination and Kurt Russell is Herb Brooks in this film. A good family film. I highly recommended.Excellent! I could watch this movie a thousand times and never get tired of it! I watched the original games on TV and get the same feeling of excitement while watching this movie. The movie demonstrates the time and effort that was given by all involved to make that "miracle" happen. It's interesting and entertaining, as well. Definitely worth watching.
