touching and engrossing story about racism

Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2015)

This is a story about a boxer (Denzel Washington) who could almost become one of the greatest boxer of history. But become of racism he was sent to prison officially cuz of a crime with his best friend which he did not commit. He stays in prison till a young Canadian man finds his some book and contacts him. Here starts a great friendship and the young man with the help of his family tries to get Denzel out of the prison. Denzel Washington's unforgettable performance in this fight for freedom will make you cry.
Kevin Spacey did a great job in American Beauty but I thought Denzel really deserved the Oscar for his stunning display. The Hurricane is still a wonderful, heartfelt drama that will leave you touched by the power of the human spirit.
The story is impressive, Rubin Carter's and Denzel Washington's performance is outstanding. I would say this is Washington's best performance from his entire life. I have to mention that technically movie is too much packed. It should have been longer but I guess there is some restrictions when ready for realize.
First part is even more emotionally strong and the second was a little less interesting as even thou it's a real story still seemed to be a bit made up.
You really get to know "The Hurricane", all the hard times he had been through, and his amazing character of a powerful man. There is so much more shown in the movie than the trailer shows.
