Denzel Washington gives a stirring performance as the African-American boxer unjustly sent to prison — a man who loses two decades of his life, but never loses pride or his hunger for freedom. When young Lesra (Vicellous Reon Shannon) buys a copy of the fighter’s autobiography, he decides to fight for his hero’s emancipation. Aided by a trio of Canadian activists, the young boy brings the Hurricane to national attention. The resultant emotional reconciliations will leave you stunned. This powerfully acted movie is a must for anyone who loves great storytelling. Notes DVD Features Region 1 Encoding Keep Case Anamorphic Widescreen Audio Commentary with Norman Jewison Making-of Deleted Scenes Talent Files Production Notes Theatrical Trailer DVD-ROM Features Description The inspirational true story of boxer Rubin "The Hurricane" Carter, who was wrongfully convicted of murder in 1966. Told in a series of flashbacks, Washington immerses himself in the role of Carter with a charged passion that should make him a serious Oscar contender. The story jumps around in time, from Carter's troubled childhood, to his arrest in 1966, to his fruitless appeals, to 1983, when a group of three white adults and a black teenager dedicate their lives to freeing him. Jewison's assured direction keeps these stories from getting jumbled and blurring together. Even in flashbacks, the plot moves forward dramatically, to its eventual rousing conclusion. Some of the supporting roles (mainly the liberal whites, Schrieber, Unger, and Hannah) don't give the actors much to work with, but the story remains such a powerful affirmation of faith and justice that, by the time the credits roll, these flaws are easily dismissed. Based on the novels THE 16TH ROUND by Carter and LAZARUS AND THE HURRICANE by Chaiton and Swinton.
