Jake W @RT17896586 2 days ago As actors go know one has a screen presence than DW This is a true story of Rubin Carter who was wrongly accused DW and cast give really good performances. The soundtrack is amazing with Bob Dylan’s song being used and helps show what discrimination was like during that time. While the film is old the themes are more relevant than ever See more Fro T @frothizzlereviews Sep 18, 2026 An electric performance from Washington as Rubin Carter. Haunting, tragic, and hopeful. Fantastic supporting cast - looking at you, Clancy Brown. This one gives me the waterworks. Amazing score from Christopher Young! 10/10 See more Robert H @Rwhobbs198 Aug 2, 2026 The Hurricane is a must-watch film anchored by one of Denzel Washington's greatest performances. Telling the story of boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, who was wrongfully convicted of murder, the film shines a light on the flaws of the justice system and the racial injustices faced by many minorities during that era. It's an emotional and often infuriating story that leaves you wondering what might have been had Carter been allowed to pursue his career without prejudice and wrongful imprisonment. More than a boxing movie, it's a powerful human drama about perseverance, hope, and the fight for justice. Tragic, inspiring, and unforgettable, this is an important story that deserves to be seen. See more Tony H @HowTheyThinkMedia Jul 24, 2026 **The Hurricane** is a powerful based-on-a-true-story classic that I somehow missed until now. Denzel Washington is outstanding, delivering a performance filled with intensity, intelligence, anger, and dignity. He makes Rubin "Hurricane" Carter feel like a complete human being rather than simply a symbol of injustice. The film is emotional without becoming overly sentimental and shows how racism, corruption, and a deeply flawed justice system can destroy a person’s life. At the same time, it is also a story about perseverance, friendship, and refusing to surrender hope. Some details were dramatized for the film, but the central story remains compelling and important. In my opinion, this is one of Denzel’s strongest performances and a true modern classic. I am surprised it took me this long to watch it. See more Cassie B. @RT42470374 Apr 12, 2026 A hard watch. It's both a biopic and a critical analysis of our prison systems. See more Sahil K @Sahilk171 Jan 28, 2026 A very good concept but a very boring movie, it takes a lot of time to get started and gets more and more slow as it progresses and make you bored bythe time the ending comes, you do connect to the main lead but by the end you just want it to get over, could have made it lesser runtime, 6/10 See more Read all reviews
