What do you get when you cross a sports documentary with a Russian spy thriller? Something pretty darn close to "Red Army," a fun, often riveting documentary about the juggernaut Russian national hockey team. The film starts on a fun note, with star player Slava Fetisov, today a Russian politician, flipping director Gabe Polsky the finger. This starts the film off on the perfect note in a film that spotlights both the importance of, and the ridiculousness of, developing a monstrously good hockey team, then basing much of your national pride upon its success.
