Honestly, I saw this film when I was 14, I was determined to hate it just to annoy my teacher, within 30 minutes I knew this was a film that I was going to watch time and time again. I think that this film is one of my all time favorites. Denzel Washinton plays the part of Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter phenomenally and at points you feel genuine sorrow for this man and pure hatred for others. If you haven't seen this film and don't want to watch it or not sure whether to watch it or not, I have 2 words of advice...WATCH IT. Words cannot express how amazing I personally found this film, I suggest you find out for yourself just how great it really is.
