Gotta agree, Rico, a fun and inspiring movie...sorta like "Hoosiers on ice"...Kurt Russell did an outstanding job, imo, much like Hackman in the basketball movie.When I "pre-cast" a movie in my head (from a book, etc), I never think of Kurt Russell...imo, this guy has been delivering fine performances for years, but for some reason, he doesn't seem to have the cache of some other big-time box-office stars...and he can act circles around most them.
This could be the result of Kurt's having been around since he was a child actor (he played the kid with Elvis in It Happened at the World's Fair...and several similarly silly Disney pics of the 60's)...after I post this, I'm gonna check him out at imdb.com...from memory, Kurt did a nice job as Elvis in a tv movie, he was great as Snake Bliskin in Escape from NY, and very good as Macready in the very fine remake of The Thing...like the films or not, Russell did a nice job in them, imo.
I also like his performances in two "guilty pleasure"
movies...Swing Shift and Overboard, both with his main squeeze Goldie Hawn (Kurt is a lucky man).Another thing...now in his early 50's this guy just doesn't age...must have stolen some of Dick Clark's blood or something.
Anybody else here think Kurt is underated?
Regards,
Gary
