Worthy of its Oscar nominations!

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2000)

The Hurricane really is a excellent film. It has an excellent cast, including Denzel Washington, Vicellous Reon Shannon, Deborah Unger, John Hannah, and Liev Schrieber. This movie wasn't very funny, nor was it action-packed. It was just the way a really good Oscar worthy film should be. What it had was a great story, and the actors did a wonderful job, especially Shannon (you may remember his role as Cornelius in the short-lived Dangerous Minds TV series). A lot of films I've seen quite a few film recently that were oscar-nominated or classics that everybody said were great, and they didn't live up to my expectations. But this one didn't. I was captivated by the great story and all the Hurricane went through. The fact it was real just made it even more remarkable. I recommend this film.
