Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2010)

Rubin Carter was once one of the most highly feared middleweights of the sixties. he had a strong punch and a taste for the finer things in life. He also had a attitude towards white society that made Malcolm X look calm. Carter had also spent more then half of his life behind prison bars. In June of 1966 four people where murdered in a Paterson New Jersey bar and Rubin Carter and his Friend John Artis were arrested for the crime despite the only evidence being circumstantial and that the police detective in charge of the case knew Rubin and hated him. Rubin and John Artis were sentenced for three life sentences to be served in prison. Rubin Carter served the first ten years angry and he wrote a book called the 16th round. Rubin and Artis did get a second trial but that too found him guilty. Rubin Carter never stopped fighting it wasn't enough to be free but he wanted his name cleared. Enter Lesra Martin a black youth living in a commune with a group of well meaning white Canadians who want to make the world a better place They're rich resourceful and full of a never stop never give up attitude. When Lesra reads a battered copy of the 16th round and finds Rubin still in jail. The Canandians vow to fight for Rubin and never stop Lesra and his friends along with Rubin's lawyers find enough evidence to Get Rubin Carter free after spending 22 years in prison for a crime that he never did. Norman Jewison is an old hand at this type of film a lot of people who were angry at Rubin Carter claimed that The HURRICANE was a attempt to make Rubin a saint. They took shots at the things that happened but were never portrayed or the way things were done. Jewison himself said that if he included everything that happened to Rubin during the 22 years he spent in jail you would be watching a much longer film longer by about a year. The film makers took liberties but still stand within the fact and they served Rubin better then any lie. Denzal Washington simply is the movie he makes the film sizzle and that is a glowing tribute to an extraordinary man Rubin Hurricane Carter.
