THE HURRICANE (1999) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Norman Jewison

Written by - Armyan Bernstein, Dan Gordon (based on a book by Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter and a book by Sam Chaiton and Terry Swinton)

Starring - Denzel Washington

"The true story of a boxer who was wrongly convicted in 1966 murder goes from being a powerful drama on racial conflict and injustice to a rushed and half hearted courtroom drama. This biopic doesn’t seem to cover enough ground or do the story enough justice. The screenplay is too disappointingly straight forward. Washington delivers a great performance."
