Beautiful in its portrayal of not only a prizefighter's fight for justice, but his fight with himself to find courage

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2008)

I am perhaps biased. I have met the Hurricane. I met him 5 years ago. I have shaken his hand, stood in his presence, talked with him. Whoever made the comment about this movie lacking courage, I think perhaps only lacks courage themselves--the courage to just accept the story for what it is, the inspiration and frustration, the bitterness and hope, rather than immaturely trying to cut it down or lessen it in some way. I have met the man, I have read the book, and I have seen the movie, and the movie was incredible. The acting, the cast, the script, the directing, all were to me, the best they could be. Take it from me, trust me, this movie is not only worth watching, but I think for many, if not most, is something that all of us should watch, to understand not only hate but love, and to see not only injustice, but justice as well.
