Incredible story, great film

Rating: 7/10 (10 April 2000)

The story is too unbelievable to be real, it is horrifying and ridiculous, and fantastically told by Norman Jewison and Denzel Washington. Washington is a force to reckon with in this film. I can't imagine anyone else could have pulled off the role. He is amazing.
The story here is overwhelming and I am disturbed as of late to hear rumours that the script is nowhere close to reality. I have looked into this a little further and can find no indication at all that the film has misportrayed any instance except perhaps a few instances that would have been difficult or confusing to the audience. It isn't supposed to be a documentary. Anyway if anyone has further information regarding this please let me know - my email is embley@excite.com.
This movie was very good and deserves more than it has gotten. Rubin Hurricane Carter must be a rare and amazing individual.
