Not the expected knockout, but packs a punch.

Rating: 7/10 (25 January 2000)

Denzel Washington portrays Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a champion prize fighter that is unjustly sentenced to prison for murder. The movie drags in some spots making the flick seem too long for it's intention. There is enough interest to make you look for a copy of the autobiography. Washington makes you feel the compassion and takes you on an emotional bumpy ride. Other noteworthy cast members: Vicellous Reon Shannon and Dan Hedaya. Golden Globe and Oscar worthy.
