Norman Jewison

Reviews

In the Heat of the Night

Norman Jewison’s didactic film is a classic example of liberal guilt as entertainment. [21 January 2008]

The Statement (2003)

The Statement is a rarity: a serious, politically-minded thriller. [11 December 2003]

The Hurricane (1999)

Hurricane. One word, one name, one man. One man whom I - and probably most of my generation - had never heard prior to seeing The Hurricane. His name is remembered, however, by members of his generation, most notably, celebrities. [1 January 1995]

The Hurricane (1999)

There's a moment partway through The Hurricane that may cause you to catch your breath. It's a cramped shot, as are most of those showing Ruben Hurricane Carter (Denzel Washington) in his New Jersey State Prison cell.
