In Norman Jewison's moving biopic, boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter (Washington) is convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison in 1967 while steadfastly maintaining and professing his innocence. After being contacted by an admiring teenager living in Canada (Shannon), a series of events leads to the assemblage of a legal team which gives him hope for release.

Ive never seen this, buti love Denzel. Can this be compared to anything else? Is it more of a drama or boxing movie?

The boxing is extremely minimal in the movie. Haven't seen it in a few years but if I remember properly, there's only one match. Without spoiling anything, the movie focuses on Denzel's character and the people who he gets in contact with on the outside.

It's definitely more of a drama....but a very good one,it is based on a true story and features a Bob Dylan song about the same story.(great tune)

Hmmm not really ! This film is unique and Denzel A+++ performance + Bob Dylan soundtrack is off the hook ! Plus, awesome directing and supporting cast !!!

When i watch a movie like The Fighter (imo very overrated, not bad but like 3 stars) i clearly see a film like The Hurricane as an even better boxing film than i think it was back in the days !!!

They were playing this recently on HBO or Showtime (forget which), but it looked really nice on cable TV, but since this is Universal I can only hope they refrain themselves for once DNR'ing and EE this title to death for the actual disc release.
