The Hurricane Ratings & Reviews
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.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Denzel dazzles in biopic of imprisoned boxer.
USA Today
Susan Wloszczyna
Epic in nearly every way, The Hurricane has the power to blow you away.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
An extraordinary story by any measure.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Stirring but schmaltzy.
Film.com
Peter Brunette
Occasionally riveting.
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.
Variety
Emanuel Levy
Washington elevates the earnest, occasionally simplistic narrative to the level of a genuinely touching moral expose.
Village Voice
Amy Taubin
Denzel Washington delivers a mesmerizing, volatile performance.
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.
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
Jewison has delivered another excellent film.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
The Hurricane has real mythic power.
San Jose Mercury News
Mike Antonucci
Denzel Washington's performance in the title role is even more absorbing than the screenplay invites.
Denver Post
Steven Rosen
Features Denzel Washington's toweringly triumphant performance as Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bob Longino
Fashioned with the kind of classic Hollywood professionalism that's fast becoming a rarity at the movies.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
As the Hurricane, Denzel Washington blows away everyone else in this film -- and just about everyone else in any film in recent memory.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
An expertly crafted, deeply moving film.
San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
Jewison directs with a dispiriting brew of Hollywood schmaltz and deadly righteousness.
