Good acting by Denzel but a weak supporting cast

Rating: 9/10 (26 August 2000)

Denzel Washington was as superb as always. He really made this film great by realisticly portraying Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. I enjoyed watching the moral conflicts that constantly brewed within Denzel's character. Instead the supporting cast was simple minded. They either hated Rubin or they went for his cause. There was no moral conflict and at times these characters were either bland or downright corny. Also this movie stretches the truth about Rubin Carter. Overall a very good movie because of Denzel Washington, but could have been a 9/10 if the supporting cast was better. I give it an 8/10.
