biased, but strong performance by Washington

Rating: 7/10 (24 April 2000)

I really thought that this film was very biased, and that it basically did a one-sided defense of Hurricane Carter. I thought that they overvillified the cop who pursued Carter. Furthermore, some of the details, which were significant, of the trial and why those Canadian people just decided to drop everything and join the case were a bit unclear. However, Denzel Washington did a magnificent job as Carter--one of the best of his career.
