Good biopic!

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2001)

Although this started in a confusing way for me: is this another flashback story where someone reads the book and the whole thing is interrupted by the readers story? I found the answer very soon and I also found it was a good answer. For the answer is no, this is just how the story must be told. It is a heartwarming and heartbreaking story folks and it is well acted. I really loathe the fact that racism was and maybe even is so frequent in America and I must say this film could have also been told in a different way. Focused on the man, who had it bad too and who was according to this film, The Hurricane Carter's hero. John Artis. He had a bad life too and I'm therefore glad the film also focused on that.

8 out of 10
