This is one of the best movies ever made, and it's based on true events. So if you haven't seen it, just watch it, you'll love it - and don't forget the popcorn.

Fast shipping, well packed great price and a great movie

This movie is wonderful, where a good child who then becomes a good man is stalked by a racist cop. He is always unjustly accused, even as a child trying to defend one of his friends from a child molester. He is sent to a :prison" for children, but manages to escape, and eventually goes into the Army. Upon returning to his hometown, that same cop is still after him, and when a heinous crime is commited, that cop manages to finagle Denzel as being the one who did it, along with an innocent friend of his. At this point he is a champion prize fighter, and being sent to prison, he loses everything. There are so many poignant moments in the prison scenes, you would just have to watch the movie. And I won't ruin the surprise that walks into Denzel's life all because of a boy who reads his book that he wrote from prison.Denzel is definitely one of the most talented actors of our generation. Seeing this movie made me cry, smile, laugh, and feel vindicated! I hope you enjoy!

Please don't get me wrong with this review. I am not trying to troll Denzel or this movie. But face the facts: Carter is guilty. That's all there is to it. This movie greatly distorts the truth and greatly embellishes a lot of his, how do you say, "better qualities". That being said, however, the film is still enjoyable to watch. If you ignore the complete inaccuracies in the film and treat it as a fictional film instead of a movie mostly based on the truth then I find that you might enjoy it more.Like I said, it's a great movie with good lessons, but it's just a shame that they glorify a murderer. The film itself is very solid, but I give it four stars simply for the fact that they are completely outrageous in their dramatic license. I know that every film uses dramatic license to an extent, but this was just ridiculous.This review sounds negative, but I don't mean it to be. I just wanted to warn people that what they are seeing is not the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

It was really good

ESPECIALLY TODAY....THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IRKS ME TO NO END: WHEN A LONE CROOKED MAN, ONE MAN CAN ORCHESTRATE SO MUCH PAIN, A LIFETIME OF PAIN ON OTHERS, AND OUR WHOLE COUNTRY AND IT GOES ON AND ON UNTIL THERE IS SOMEONE WHO STANDS UP FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. HOW CAN THAT BE? BUT IT IS. But it is...reality! But it is reality! ONE MAN......ONE MAN LOWERS THE BAR INCREDIBLY SO...ANOTHER MAN RAISES THE BAR INCREDIBLY SO.Well performed, well written....held in a slow but methodical presentation to make the viewer a part of the ''''essence'''' of this justice to know that it is wrong. And to fight for justice is to help justice rise. Rise. Rise. And, at the same time the coming and knowing that Right will sometimes rise no matter the odds.A brutal undertaking launched upon a man with pride making the toll he was forced to live even worse but it was relief for me that there were decent people about that dreamed and hoped and worked hard to make justice prevail. ALL AMERICANS SHOULD VIEW THIS FILM.

The whole story was phenomenal, and there was a lot of people at the hurricane had on his side. He was wrongly convicted, and this is a true story.
