Well directed increadible acting, good plot. A movie that can make you feel what the main character was feeling and want to take action on the injustice. Denzel does an exceptional job as the Hurricane.. I recommend watching the extras and seeing the real Hurricane and how closely Dennzel matched his voice pattern and mannerism, All in all one of the better movies I have seen in years.

Watch this one only for Denzyl. Hes awesome and should have won an Oscar for his role as Rubin Carter which was instead won by Kevin Spacey for "American Beauty". His performance here is far better than his character in "Training day". A must watch.
