Cody R So good and so sad at the same time. Just like Judas everybody was born to play a part whether you like it or not. Probie was the best to do it! Hockey players are a different breed, tough guys are even more special. #24 🤜 😢 🤛 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/26/24 Full Review Rich S It's a nice testimonial to the life and hockey career of former Red Wing/Blackhawk, Bob Probert. He's one of those guys, like many in the late 20th century, who you loved if he played on your team. You hated him if he didn't. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/24 Full Review Audience Member An intimate portrait of one of the most memorable players to ever lace them up and drop the gloves. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member What a terrible thing to do to a kid! Yeah i'm talking about his dad and the whole hockey industry. It's nice to be reminded what a complete cretin Don Cherry is. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Tears and Cheers. Still recovering after an emotional night watching this incredible film. It's a sports story, it's a family story, it's a love story. Like all really good movies it's funny and at the same time tragic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Just ok. The first 40 minutes were great but after that the movie became repetitive and I’m not sure what the movie was trying to convey. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/19 Full Review Read all reviews
