Miracle

*****

Miracle succeeds on a number of levels. Very good, if not scary, acting. Kurt is in his best role in years. The storytelling goes to great lengths to put the audience back in the late seventies and early eighties with news footage, and they don't lampoon it by filling the flick with sports clichés. The action with the hockey games is tense, and the training they go through, equally intense. I think this is one of the best sport's movies I've seen in a long time. I highly recommend it.
