Movie is a Work of Fiction not Fact

Rating: 1/10 (16 August 2012)

I suppose if you watch this movie and base it on acting alone you will love it. However, if you are actually interested in the truth, this is not a movie to be watched or believe. There are so many factual errors it would take a we website to list them all and I can recommend one. http://www.graphicwitness.com/carter/#moviegraphics - Click on this and read the truth. Rubin "Hurricane" Carter was found guilty twice and all the facts point to his guilt. This movie turns him into a hero and he has made a lot of money of "his true life story" (lol). I call it a thorough pack of lies. Hollywood does use poetic license to tell stories as it does in most cases when an movie is based on a real even or life but this is shameful. It is not remotely based on any facts and takes a man who was a twice convicted double murdered and makes him a role model. One thing in the movie I have issues with is the fat pig racist cop. Even Hollywood admitted there was no person like this. It was made up to enhance the movie. Do some research of your own. It was a well- made fiction movie but there was nothing factual about this movie which is why I rated it a 1 and only gave it that because you can't give a 0. I always loved movies with Denzel Washington but I will think twice before I watch him in another. Hollywood star or not. One should choose to research a story being presented as fact because you lose credibility. Prior to this movie Denzel always played roles that were either truly guilty or very factually based and I applauded him for that. But the Hurricane is nothing but a lot of hot air and no fact.
