Miracle

This is close to heresy, giving this movie a MEOW. It got a lot of critical acclaim when it hit the theaters, and it's hard to go wrong with one of the most compelling athletic stories of the 20th century. And it's not like I didn't enjoy it. But the hard fact is, there are plenty of sports movie cliches in this flick, more than enough to drag it below the level of great moviemaking. And Kurt Russell's performance is strong, but if you don't remember the real Herb Brooks--the situation most viewers will be in--it's hard to say how well he captured the man. It's good, but could have been better.
