Comments are very positive of the film and short.

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2000)

"The Hurricane" is the must see movie of 2000! The character development in the movie was fascinating, because when you leave the movie I guarantee you will feel like you've known Ruben Carter your entire life, going through his childhood to his adult life, and the why's and how's of changes he made. Denzel Washington did the best acting of his career. There were moments during the movie where I forgot he wasn't actually The Hurricane. As well as Denzel, the supporting cast did an excellent job, and I enjoyed that they didn't use any high profile actors, while still producing excellent acting. The plot is true and excellent, and will change the way you look at life
