	30 Greatest Sports Movies - The Hurricane (1999)
		The Hurricane not only details the crime and the miscarriage of justice that followed, but shows how Carter survived the long, lonely years in prison, and how the devotion of a small group of Canadians led to his redemption.
		The first begins in 1963, when The Hurricane defeats Emile Griffith for the World Welter Weight title, and continues through 1966, when he is arrested and tried for murder, then into the 1970s, when he is incarcerated at Trenton State Prison on a life sentence.
		Jewison rigorously researched the movie before beginning work on it, and it's apparent from the opening scene (a fl-and-white re-creation of the December 20, 1963 bout between Griffith and Carter) that a great deal of care and attention to detail went into The Hurricane's composition.

	Amazon.com: The Hurricane: DVD: Denzel Washington,Vicellous Reon Shannon,Deborah Kara Unger,Liev Schreiber,John ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In telling the story of boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter--who was wrongly convicted of murder in 1967 and spent nearly two decades in jail--Jewison and his screenwriters compress time, combine characters, and rearrange events with a nonchalance that would be galling if they didn't remain honest to the core truth of Carter's ordeal.
		Luckily for us, this is not all there is to `The Hurricane.' The writers and director wisely enlarge the canvas of their story to include the teenager, Lesra Martin, whose contact it was with Carter, languishing almost forgotten in prison, that ultimately set the wheels of justice rolling that would lead to Carter's eventual release.
		This Hurricane thus set as an example and model to anyone whose freedom is endangered, we can move to the 15 year old fl boy from Brooklyn who buys and reads Rubin Carter's book in a booksale for 25 cents.

	The Hurricane (1999)
		Watching The Hurricane is like watching one of those old Stanley Kramer "problem" dramas from the '60s, or Jewison's own liberal "classic" In the Heat of the Night.
		With Ruben "Hurricane" Carter, Washington has been freed for once from having to compete with the impression a great historic figure has already made on our minds, and the result is a deeper and richer characterization than any this great actor has given us before.
		In a scene toward the end of The Hurricane, Carter is shown seated in his cell beneath a portrait of Malcom X. As a matter of historical record, it's an inevitable moment: Like many fl convicts, Carter found inspiration in Black Muslim thought, and a role model in Malcolm's teachings.

		But be forewarned if you see this movie with a lawyer, or seek to use it in a classroom discussion about the emotional issues underlying any property dispute: the entire plot of this movie may rest on a misunderstanding of what happens when the county seizes a house to satisfy a tax lien.
		This movie has gotten lost in the midst of "History vs. Hollywood" and debates about the need for a Hollywood movie to have heroes and villains, rather than presenting a flawed defendant, who had a criminal history, and his two complicated murder trials, which this movie compresses into one.
		There is another, accurate movie waiting to be made about John Artis, a young man who had never been in trouble with the law, who served 15 years in jail as a result of the events for which Carter was arrested.

	The Hurricane (1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The story of boxer Rubin `Hurricane' Carter is a fascinating and controversial one, and it has been brilliantly brought to life in Norman Jewison's film `The Hurricane.' Denzel Washington, in a terrific performance, portrays the New Jersey boxer who was twice wrongly convicted for murder, and finally released in 1985.
		The movie tells Carter's story, from the rough streets of Paterson, New Jersey, his days as a champion prizefighter, and the prison where he spent so many years.
		Even with this controversy, however, The Hurricane is both beautifully directed and acted.

	moviegurus.com - the hurricane (1999) movie review
		The film follows the making and breaking of a prize fighter: his childhood, the rage that drove him to use his body "as a weapon," his rise to fame, and wrongful conviction for the murder of three people.
		The Hurricane is not about a champion boxer who knocks out every opponent he fights in the ring.
		Also, the movie's editing causes confusion sometimes, as it makes abrupt jumps between past (via flashbacks) and present in an attempt to give a full-fledge biography.

	THE HURRICANE (1999): ChildCare Action Project (CAP) Media Analysis Report MAR20009
		I am rarely moved by a movie, what with having seen every kind and sort of filth Hollywood can create, but I was indeed moved by The Hurricane.
		But the art quality of this movie was completely destroyed by the junk and the trash and the filth that the writers just had to smear on it.
		This movie had such a potential for being one of the all-time greats that I would like to violate my own policy guidelines and recommend this movie, but I can't.

		In the 1999 movie, The Hurricane, Denzel Washington plays the role of Rubin Carter, based on his true life story.
		The story of Hurricane Carter is one of darkness and light - dying and rising.
		With the help of many people and their support, Hurricane was raised from the darkness of a troubled young life and near death at the hand of the state to a life in light that darkness could not defeat - a new risen life.

	Mike Legeros Movie Review - The Hurricane (1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Director Norman Jewison's butt- numbing (though at times absolutely absorbing) Denzel Washington- starring bio-pic is based on the true story of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a fl boxing champ who was wrongfully imprisoned for mur- der from 1966 to 1985.
		The 140-minute flick is divided into three distinct sections, the first and most agreeable is a fifteen-minute prologue that juxtaposes one of Carter's matches with his prepping for a fight with the prison guards.
		And everybody in the audience leaves smiling, either because they loved the movie or they're just happy to done doin' hard time.

	The Hurricane
		In June 1966, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter (Denzel Washington) was a strong contender for the middleweight boxing title.
		At the calm eye of this storm is the tightly wound, fiercely focused performance of Denzel Washington.
		The Hurricane delivers a mighty emotional load, most of it borne on the broad shoulders of a great actor hitting his prime.
