A powerful movie in every respect!

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2000)

The Hurricane was powerful in all respects....well acted, a story well-told--moving and disturbing as well. My husband and I went to see it and we both felt it was easily one of the two or three best movies in the past year. Denzel Washington is incredible as Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. The story itself is such a sad one--and such a shameful/disgraceful commentary on our legal system (you notice I didn't say "justice" system--they are not the same.) I will encourage everyone I know to be sure and see this movie...just be prepared for the strong emotions that will be sure to surface.
