THE HURRICANE (1999)


This is destined to be a Norman Jewison classic.
It tells us the ordeal of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a top-ranked middleweight boxer who was wrongly convicted of murder in the mid-60's. We follow Rubin in prison from 1966 to 1985, when he was freed with love from Canadian fans.
Strong performance from Denzel Washington, oscar nominated and golden globe winner.
Excellent pacing and cinematography. (Roger Deakins)
Highly recommended.
