A great story of human triumph that is a little long in the tooth. . .

Rating: 7/10 (17 January 2000)

The Hurricane is great story of human tragedy and triumph that presses all of the right buttons. The acting is superb all around and Washington is certain of his second Oscar nomination. Its only weakness is that is plays a little too long. The story tends to stray off its main course at key times losing the momentum it has tried to build up.
