Rating: B --
There is a talented supporting cast, but they are not given much opportunity to break out of the two-dimensional symbolism they are cloaked with in the script by Armyan Bernstein and Dan Gordon.

The film has genuine impact, and I'm betting that leading and supporting Oscar nominations will follow.

Rating: 3/5 --
The film, directed by Norman Jewison, feels a bit too simple for such a complex story, but Washington transcends the problems to provide his best acting since Malcolm X.

Stirring but schmaltzy.
New York Times
Facile and unpersuasive.

Time Out
The movie's dogged humorlessness, and its sixties-style cant, don't do justice to all the political crosscurrents in this story.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Description by OLDIES.com:
In the prime of his boxing career, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter (Denzel Washington) finds himself wrongfully convicted of murder. Sentenced to life in prison, Carter's published memoir, The Sixteenth Round, inspired a teenager (Vicellous Reon Shannon) from Brooklyn and three Canadian activists (Deborah Kara Unger, John Hannah, Liev Schreiber) who believed in the truth, to join forces with Carter to prove his innocence. Their extraordinary efforts ultimately secure his release, leaving "Hurricane" to sum up his 20 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit by simply stating, "Hate got me into this place, love got me out."
