Ratings and reviews

Best Denzel Washington Performance The Hurricane tells the story of boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter a black boxer wrongly convicted of murder. This character when first seeing him played by Denzel Washington in the film was one of the best performances I've ever seen him play.

At first I thought it was some movie here and there but when I sit down and watch it. I get inspired and start crying. This is the best movie I have ever watched. I hope other people get inspired. Just sit down and watch you will see!!

This movie shows racism and wrongful incarnations of incense man. But like they said "hate put in prison but love is going bust me out:"
