Yea thanks i think its about time people on this forum know the truth because i was fooled aswell until i read up on it and was shocked how bad they lied in the film it was a disgrace imo.
I think everyone is over-analyzing..... Its a movie, its not meant to be an exact history of ruben carter. Its meant to be entertaining. I thought it was an awesome film with terrific acting.

As to whether ruben carter actually killed them people, no one will ever really know but he is free now and having been in prison for 20 years I reckon he can have his freedom
