http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0174856/

One of my top 5 greatest movies and greatest performance by an actor done by Denzel here.

Good movie, book was quality as well. Denzel could probably star in "It's Pat: The Movie" and make it worth watching.

Funny you mention that movie. I have it out on Netflix and plan on watching today. I don't even remember this movie when it came out.

great film. i don't know about the story though, im pretty sure i read that the white cop who had it in for him was fabricated and also that there was a substantial amount of evidence tying him to the crime, not just he was convicted because he was black

I recommend you get your hands on a copy of the book. It's a lot better than the movie. A lot more detail. Lucky he didn't get the death penalty. Just lost an eye and most of his best years.

Can you name 1 book that isn't better than the movie?

You HAD to read the Godfather to understand what was going on at times. Like Sonny hammering that broad who had a loose pussy while he was very sizable.

Bob Dylan's song "The Hurricane" was great as well. Dylan wrote the song about the situation and was a big supporter of Ruben Carter...

Great song, worth mentioning...

However, he did basically getoff because of a court technicality. Was he innocent or not? Who knows, Patty Valentine swears it was him....

Great Dylan song!! But after he did the song Dylan lost interest in fighting to get Carter out. He wasn' in it for the long term but more just for his own means.

The Secret. Does that count as a movie?LoL The personal development "movie" which had a follow up book that was popular a year or so ago.

Normally the book comes first. But the opposite happened here.

So the original version is always better?

In my opinion it was a pretty good movie. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a 7.Sorry,I'm a tough critic.
