What a waste of my time!!!

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Grettings from Lithuania."The Hurricane"(1999) is a superb film, lead by a mesmerizing performance from Mr.Denzel Washington. I saw this gem 3 times already, and it's a heartbreaking movie. It's so moving, that sometimes you can't really keep the tears - and it's definitely not a tearjerker type of movie, but because of the story and again of the powerhouse performance from Denzel, it really works on that front. No one would want to be caught in such a situation, and when watching this film you can't get rid of the mind "what would i do in this kind of a situation" - i think Ruben did what a Strong person would do - he has locked himself from the inside and throw away the key until one kid finally found it.This i truly great biography, kind a dark but at the same time inspiring story , lead by an amazing performance by one of the all time best - Denzel Washington.

In a case with multiple sides, it's hard to seek the truth. It's especially difficult when men purposely play with the system. Whether it's "indisputable" evidence, false witnesses or sheer manipulation, the story of the Hurricane is one to be remembered. Known as a prominent fighter, Hurricane's battle with overcoming challenges began from an early age. This film is deeply emotional. It delves into the ploy of sinister men in positions of power who have goals besides enforcing the spirit of the law. The Hurricane is unluckily swept into the midst of corruption and loses everything. It's a struggle to one day taste freedom and bring justice back to the courts.The Hurricane is a strong movie. Whether it's the psychological trouble or loss of family, it's impossible to not sympathize with the protagonist. Although not truly meant to be a documentary, my main concern is that the film is clearly one-sided. Although it is a great piece of film, the plot does not represent history accurately and only reveals light from a skewed perspective. With great performances from Denzel Washington and the entire supporting cast, this movie is certain to please for its entertainment value. Validity is key, though. Corruption is rampant, but so is deception.

The Hurricane : Denzel Washington no doubt is one of the best actor ever exist and this one of his greatest role he ever did, his acting skills in this movie is endless. Washington as Rubin Carter simple marvelous . Now about movie well i Google it ans i get mix kind of reviews about this story ....was it really like they showed n movie or not ...so i really don't say anythng about real Rubin and about his life. But yes as a story and movie i like this ....nice cinematography and great boxing scenes . I know ppl expecting raging bull kinda movie but this movie was more about story and action taken by society or i can say injustice rather then real boxing. A man who had criminal records run away from prison and joined army their he came to know what he cud capable of he started boxing...then again sentenced to prison where he decided to made him as a professional boxer and he worked hard n prison and become one of the biggest unexceptional case . Then color gap or racism ...ppl hatred and he found guilty for murder he never did. Then his fight against injustice and how a book can motivate a person and then story starts again and u will fall in to it. So one of the best acting done by Denzel and yes i enjoyed the movie and i will recommend you should watch it if u really like movies Washington might get an Oscar for this as acting was superb and he totally in to this character but again there are few files which doubt that is this story was really based on exactly what happened?? ..that was a catch

The Hurricane is an inspirational story about a guy who was wrongfully imprisoned and how he does all he can to set himself free. This is a moving story and the direction by Norman Jewison is very solid. Also, Denzel Washington gives a magnificent performance as he always do. What adds significance to this story is that it is based on a true story. It may not be historically accurate as we would like, but it's still true enough to the source material that we actually believe the events that happened in the movie.Norman Jewison's film is about a guy named Rubin "Hurricane" Carter who has dealt with the law since before he was a teenager. After he was wrongfully accused of a triple murder and was sent to life in prison, he receives the help three Canadian activists who works their very hardest to set this man free.As I mentioned before, Denzel is one of the greatest actors of my generation and possibly the entire history of cinema. He gives a gritty performance and really takes the part of the role very well. The other actors are very well in particular Liev Schreiber, John Hannah, and Dan Hedaya.Overall, this is a powerhouse film about a guy who is imprisoned because of racial hatred. The acting carries the film especially Denzel. I don't think anyone other than Denzel would be really effective in this role. I rate this film 9/10.
