its the greatest movie u gotta go see it if ur a fan of hockey
This is a great movie especially for Montreal Canadiens fans but This is truly the gladiator of hockey.
Best movie I have seen in years. Absolutely believable. Loved hearing it in French with English sub-titles. The period shots of Montreal were classic and the use of black and white film was great. Gave the movie a uniqueness unseen for ages. Acting very good.
GREATEST FILM EVER MADE, MAURICE "THE ROCKET" RICHARD IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HES THE ISH !RIP
I went expecting to enjoy the film to an extent but came out liking it a lot more than expected. I was expecting to have gotten bored since it was a pretty klong movie and it was in french, although I speak and understand french I dont like watching movies in french. I love the fact that they used the olden ways lie when the coaches spoke english and the players french(well most of them) I really enjoyed the movie and it was the perfect combo of the great sport of hockey and the story of Maurice Richard. Loved it and I recommend for everyone to watch it. Cristina(16yrsold)
This was not just a hockey film but a politicial one as well, It showed in many ways, that the Richard Riots were not about injustice done to a single athlete but about the years of psychological abuse suffered by the French population of Quebec. Thus was sparked the beginning of the Separatist movement. I love hockey and found this film entertaining from a sports point of view. i was not quite prepared for the political clout that it handed.
