A WHIRLWIND PERFORMANCE

Rating: Null/10 (18 July 2003)

I don't know who Rubin Carter was, never heard of him before the movie but think Denzel gave him life through this movie.
I don't know if he was a criminal or deserved to go to jail or spend the time he did but with the situations being what they were back then, his success might have sparked racist reactions to anything he did.

No one is a position to judge the real life Carter, we'd have to walk twenty years in his shoes before we do.
He was sent to a reform institute by a racist judge, he paid and paid time and time again for any crimes committed. Dignity is the only gift we are born with and Carter(portrayed by Denzel) had to fight for his. Who wouldn't?!!
TOP ACTING AS ALWAYS FROM MR WASHINGTON (An ICON!!)
5/5
