A Mystery

DIRECTED BY: M. Jay Roach

REVIEWED: 10-11-99

If you go into Mystery expecting any outdoor Alaskan adventure other than small-town hockey, you'll be very disappointed. This isn't about Alaska (in fact, those lovely frozen rivers at the bases of mountains were shot in Alberta, Canada). But even though skating on a black-ice pond is about as foreign to local audiences as the NHL itself, this feel-good movie about a close-knit community that takes long-odds against the New York Rangers and (gulp) big-box chain stores may yet strike a chord with those who go to the movies to see honor and courage prevail. Or, barring that, an alternate universe in which it's semi-legal to shoot at Price World sales representatives. Starring Russel Crowe, Hank Azaria and Burt Reynolds.
