The Hurricane      Bush - 6
           
Score - 6

  
1999
   140 mins
   dir. Norman Jewison
   stars - Denzel Washington - Rubin Carter

        
Based on the two books: "The 16th Round" by Rubin "Hurricane" Carter
    and "Lazarus and The Hurricane" by Sam Chaiton and Terry Swinton and
    directed by the same bloke that directed In The Heat Of The Night and The
    Thomas Crown Affair The Hurricane makes for good viewing. Denzel
    Washington deservedly won a Golden Globe and 1999 Best Actor Oscar for
    his portrayal of the boxer Rubin Carter who was wrongly jailed for a murder
    he didn't commit. The story follows his true story and the attempts of the
   Three Stooges who campaign for his eventual release after nearly two decades
    in prison to get him freed.
        It's a good film if you are prepared to stick with it through the whole two
    hours twenty others, like KJM for example would probably turn it off after
    about an hour and won't be arsed to watch the rest but it's definitely worth it.
    The 6.5 that I gave it is probably the lowest I could have and some may say
    it's worth upto an 8. I wouldn't though.
