Make no mistake, this film is all about ice hockey. With one or two little bits of story mixed in and one or two interesting characters, mainly Ron Eldard who plays the randy school teacher and Mary Mc Cormack who is nice as the sheriff's wife. If you're a Russell Crowe fan like me, you'll want to know that he does wear an awful lot of clothes - mainly woolly sweaters, hats and gloves - and only takes them off a couple of times so you won't get to see much of the real Russell. He can skate though, as all the blokes can. It's what they do in Mystery you see. Definitely on the list if you're a Crowe fan but not one of his very best. Too damned cold!
