The Hurricane Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Denzel dazzles in biopic of imprisoned boxer.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
The movie's dogged humorlessness, and its sixties-style cant, don't do justice to all the political crosscurrents in this story.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Give director Norman Jewison credit for two things: 1) He made the movie; 2) He let Washington run away with it.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
A thoughtful and even inspiring film.
USA Today
Susan Wloszczyna
Epic in nearly every way, The Hurricane has the power to blow you away.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Stirring but schmaltzy.
Film.com
Peter Brunette
Occasionally riveting.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
An extraordinary story by any measure.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
The Hurricane delivers a mighty emotional load, most of it borne on the broad shoulders of a great actor hitting his prime.
Variety
Emanuel Levy
Washington elevates the earnest, occasionally simplistic narrative to the level of a genuinely touching moral expose.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
An expertly crafted, deeply moving film.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
This movie about the nightmare of incarceration makes you taste the meaning of freedom.
Newsday
John Anderson
The story never radiates much beyond the corruption of Carter's lifelong enemy, Paterson detective Vincent Della Pesca.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
A pleasurable experience.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Its celebration of a spirit that refused to go down for the count is the important thing here, and Washington gets it shiningly right.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
The last great performance of 1999, and arguably the best of the lot as well.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
This is strong stuff, and I was amazed, after feeling some impatience in the earlier reaches of the film, to find myself so deeply absorbed in its second and third acts, until at the end I was blinking at tears.
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
First-class film material.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
You can always tell where The Hurricane is leading you. But the trip is strong and stirring.
Houston Chronicle
Jeff Millar
It's a measure of Washington's strengths that he swims while the film sinks.
