I watched the movie The Hurricane last nite, if you do not know it, it is a movie starring Denzel Washington, where he gets convicted of a murder he never committed and the cops cover up the evidence. This to me was one of denzel's best roles of all time. He plays his character extremely well, showing so much pain and anger that man in jail for 20 years would. My favorite seen is when Denzel tries to convince his lawyer and the warden from the prison to try and go to the federal courts and appeal the new evidence his friends found out. In this scene Denzel gets extremely angry when they tell him he needs to wait for more evidence because he has been in jail for almost his whole life. His emotions are unbelievably real and make me feel for his character. What makes the movie even better is it is a true story and comes out to happy ending with justice being served and the man is let out of jail for no wrong doing. I have always been a huge Denzel fan but this film made me put him over the age as one of the best actors ever.
