🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This 1978 thriller probes the grimy underbelly of professional sports long before it became a staple narrative. The director builds a gripping tension, framing the hockey rink as an arena for very human failings.
What lingers after the final whistle is a cynical, almost noir-ish portrait of ambition and compromise, where the ice symbolizes a moral chill. Its questions about the cost of victory remain piercingly relevant. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Martyn Burke
Best Watched
The tense quiet of locker rooms, the glare of arena lights on ice, hushed deals in offices overlooking the empty rink.
