There's no denying it's powerful stuff, which, for want of a better phrase, really packs a punch.

...THE HURRICANE features Denzel Washington at his powerful, poignant best...
Rolling Stone
Rating: 3/4 --
A reminder that there's still a lot to be said for the good old-fashioned inspirational Hollywood movie.
Globe and Mail
...With power, intensity, remarkable range and an ability to disturb that is both unnerving and electric, it is more than Washington's most impressive part, it sums up his career as well...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3/4 --
Give director Norman Jewison credit for two things: 1) He made the movie; 2) He let Washington run away with it.

San Francisco Chronicle
...A genuinely touching moral expose....Inspirational and uplifting...
Variety
The movie's dogged humorlessness, and its sixties-style cant, don't do justice to all the political crosscurrents in this story.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Product 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, intense passion. The story jumps around in time, from Carter's troubled childhood, to his arrest in 1966, to his fruitless appeals, settling in 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. Based on the novels THE 16TH ROUND by Carter and LAZARUS AND THE HURRICANE by Chaiton and Swinton.
