I am not going to review it here as it needs a second viewing for sure. Even writing a few more lines about the film has found me deleting them because I am analysing my own words! Let's say this: it could be one of the greatest stories ever told or a complete pile of pretentious crap but there is no doubt that the acting, cinematography, set design and score are nothing short of stunning.
I don't really understand most U.S sports at all TBH. I have also tried not to, so the idea of a stand off whereby opposing team members beat the crap out of each other in ice hockey matches is odd to me; however this is an absolute blast. Expletive fuelled, jet black humour but still with an emotion filled beating heart that dispenses with most of the sentimentality that doesn't do much for us pragmatic Brits makes for a great movie. Seann William Scott is quite simply brilliant in this movie. Makes me want to see an ice hockey game even if I don't get the rules.
