Movie Review - Mystery, Alaska

It's a pretty big name cast with Burt Reynolds, Colm Meaney, Russell Crowe, Mike Myers & Hank Azaria. Take a bunch of unknown skaters in a small town in Alaska then throw in the idea their that good they attract the attention of the mighty NHL.

Then you have the fight, will the New York Rangers come to the town now they have spent a lot of money? Obviously and eventually they do come to the town and the game is played. With what you might think to be a predictable outcome. But that's totally not the case. The game itself is pretty good even for non-hockey fans, entertaining enough to keep you watching. All the actors play their characters very well, even the normally very annoying Crowe.

Worth a look, even if your not a hockey fan, it's a decent feel good sports movie and you can root for the underdogs.
