THE ROCKET (2013)

Picture
The Rocket: The Legend of Rocket Richard (1994)
A Hero of Hockey compliments of A. O. SCOTT Published: November 30, 2007 "You're the Babe Ruth of Hockey." 


“The Rocket” is a polished, costumed production, with lots of heavy music, fedoras and trains hurtling through the wintry Quebec landscape. The film showcases Mr. Dupuis’s meaty good looks rather than his acting ability. And the story it tells, while it touches on interesting themes of class consciousness and social inequality, is pretty dull in the end. Richard marries his childhood sweetheart, Lucille (Julie Le Breton), who sits in the stands looking worried as he scores goal after goal, fights off goons and represents the proud fighting spirit of his people.

All of this is conveyed by means of a familiar melodramatic machinery, and after a while the humorless solemnity of “The Rocket” stifles any interesting sense of Maurice Richard as a character. The hockey sequences are nicely done, though, and give a reasonably good sense of what a great player he was.

“The Rocket” is rated PG (Parental guidance suggested) for some rough fistfights on the ice.
