Most helpful review The Hurricane

Oscar Worthy

By Dougal4 from Edinburgh , 05 Nov 2004

[Highly rated reviewer]

If you ever wondered why Denzel won his best actor Oscar for 'Training Day' which was essentially a bad film, watch this. If you add his performances in 'Cry Freedom' (for example) to this film, you'll realise why Hollywood rectified a long-standing mistake.

By a customer , 08 Feb 2013

this is film is simply outstanding from start to finish how denzel washington did not win the best actor oscar for his performance is beyond me probably because of the subject matter. he carries the film from start to finish and the other actors also hold their own. unmissable

Great,interesting,well acted and true!!

Actually its NOT,the film simplifies what actually happen in reality,google it after the film,because its a spoiler and I won't share why here-great film simply because of Denzel and the subject matter,could have been an 'all time great' if produce/directed in other hands.

Real heroes don't grow in fairy tales

By a customer , 11 Apr 2011

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

This film will leave you full of admiration for someone who faced a great injustice, paid for it with a signiicant proportion of his life and remained unresentful. Not sure if it's a feel good movie as no-one can ever replace those years for him, which made me feel truly sad. Those who fought tirelessly for him certainly give you hope for mankind but some situations leave you wondering if there is any justice in the world.
