This right here is why Detroit Red Wings fans are diehard, forever fans! You don't have to be a Red Wing fan to enjoy this movie but good chance you will be a fan when it's over. Full of emotional ups and downs!

The Good: As a documentary, this film succeeded by invoking popular tropes from successful narrative fiction films - some based on true stories. It has the espionage intrigue of Spy Game (Tony Scott, 2001) with tales of locker room conversations in Russia under KGB surveillance. It has the front office machinations and calculations of Moneyball (Bennett Miller, 2011), wherein a General Manager from an already successful team is brought in to turn around a franchise circling the drain. Most importantly it has the kinetic excitement and tale of adversity of a hockey film like Miracle (Gavin O'Connor, 2004), and ironically enough The Russian Five has one of the same players as that "miracle on ice" story. The Bad: The story is inconsistent in its delivery. Early on, there are elements of intrigue and ingenuity, but those fade in favor of a more conventional, less exciting teleological point of view. Perhaps it's a drawback associated with tying documentary talking head interviews, and archival footage with narrative films, but there isn't a throughline of thought concerning what kind of story is being told. The film's greatest strength is perhaps its greatest weakness. Is it a story of intrigue with late night state department phone calls? Or, is it a film about the genius, or collective geniuses, required to build a championship contender? Or, is it a film about the triumph over adversity, even when a team can be at the top of its sport? The Ugly: Documentary style with shades of Ocean's Eleven (Steven Soderbergh, 2001), The Cove (Louie Psihoyos, 2009) begins and ends with a cohesive story. Psihoyos introduces an old dolphin trainer with a broken heart who reveals what could possibly be the greatest inhuman injustice known to contemporary consciousness. The steady rise to the film's climax and the constant suspense as Psihoyos and his crew of crack filmmakers set the stage is excellently orchestrated. The Russian Five tells a nostalgic story of a great era in the history of a storied hockey franchise, but The Cove better exemplifies the callbacks to narrative genre films that both films rely on for success in their storytelling.

The best sports documentary (film, not TV show) I've ever seen.

A must-watch for any hockey fan. The Redwings aren't even my team. I only recognised 2-3 names in the entire documentary. I knew nothing of this story prior to viewing "The Russian Five". But by the end, I had completely fallen in love with this story and the team. It has cold war elements that would rival the best spy thrillers. It has a meshing of cultures, languages, triumphs over adversity and sheer grit and determination. You can't help but feed off the energy, the passion and the sheer inspiration of these guys. The documentary itself moves along at the speed of a puck. Animated reenactments, interviews and footage of the era all combine to create a gripping documentary. I wasn't expecting to get emotional (numerous times) while watching a documentary about hockey. Particularly of a team I didn't even really know. That alone is testament to the filmmakers and the incredible story of the Russian Five. Compulsory viewing for hockey fans and sports lovers alike. Important viewing also at a time like this.

This movie was amazing. It captured the feeling of 1990's NHL hockey. The documentary was well put together and reminded you of the political climate of the 80's/90's as well as the extreme physical nature of the NHL at this time period. Red Wings fans should love it. Avalanche fans ought to respect it. NHL fans should never forget it. It was extremely interesting learning the actual stories of how Russian players had to drastically change their lives to leave their home country to play in the NHL. We brought a friend who is a physician in the United States, was born in Russia, and knew very little about hockey. She loved the movie and cheered hard for the Russian players.
