In a case with multiple sides, it's hard to seek the truth. It's especially difficult when men purposely play with the system. Whether it's "indisputable" evidence, false witnesses or sheer manipulation, the story of the Hurricane is one to be remembered.
Known as a prominent fighter, Hurricane's battle with overcoming challenges began from an early age. This film is deeply emotional. It delves into the ploy of sinister men in positions of power who have goals besides enforcing the spirit of the law. The Hurricane is unluckily swept into the midst of corruption and loses everything. It's a struggle to one day taste freedom and bring justice back to the courts.
The Hurricane is a strong movie. Whether it's the psychological trouble or loss of family, it's impossible to not sympathize with the protagonist. Although not truly meant to be a documentary, my main concern is that the film is clearly one-sided. Although it is a great piece of film, the plot does not represent history accurately and only reveals light from a skewed perspective. With great performances from Denzel Washington and the entire supporting cast, this movie is certain to please for its entertainment value.
Validity is key, though. Corruption is rampant, but so is deception.
