Reviews

Chris McCoy

I'm not much of a sportsman, much less a hockey fan, but this meticulously crafted documentary is a knockout.

Takes a strong subject and renders it toothless and forgettable.

Red Army ultimately fails to deliver anything other than a superficial account of the USSR's sporting history and the role of sport in the Soviet Union.

Red Army is most stirring when it examines the painful inner-struggle of these men who left behind a country and government that took a heavy toll on their lives, but who could also never abandon their innate sense of nationalistic pride.

What makes "Red Army" so interesting is how it also works as a statement on what it was like from the Soviet perspective during the Cold War era.
