Knocked down but not Knocked out!

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2001)

Hurricane is a wonderful heart warming movie about a young boxer who is framed for a shooting because he was black. Denzil Washington stars as Rubin "the Hurricane"Carter and as per usual he is fantastic. He was awarded a golden globe and was nominated for an acadamy award for this part and you can see why. Apparently he trained in the boxing ring for a year before filming started and it was definately worth it. What is even more amazing is that this story is a true one. There will not be many people who fail to be touched by the acting,the story and the over all humanity of this picture. Nearly as good as Raging Bull...nearly. 9 out of 10.
