6/10: Uh...that wasn't a hockey film I saw in Youngblood.

It's more of a steel cage wrestling match on ice. The editing is terrible because all I saw is a fleeting series of images but there's nothing concrete about them. Hence, it fails to shape up as a hockey movie that's always bordering between bad humor and corny moments.

Uh, the movie poster of buff-looking Rob Lowe...let me ask this: was his face transplanted on somebody else's body? Anyway, I can't see him playing the sport for real, but Patrick Swayze...yeah, he's believable. Save for him, everybody move too slow on the ice rink, and the action isn't interesting. There's a whole lot of fighting for no reason.

All in all, Youngblood isn't what hockey is about.
