The Shawshank Redemption is an amazing movie that I think suffered from its unusual title. The acting in this film is brilliant and the story is really a stand out. This is everything a great drama should be. |

The Shawshank Redemption is quite possibly the best movie I have seen. A lot of movies lose my interest about halfway though. This movie kept me focused from beginning to end. Great film. |

The Shawshank Redemption |
|
The Shawshank Redemption is a top notch drama that gets everything right and makes for one hell of a movie. Frank Darabont is in my eyes, the most underrated director making films today and with this film, he has made a masterpiece. His direction is outstanding and his screenplay, based on Stephen Kings short story is fantastic. The performances are incredible all around. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are terrific(as usual). Bob Gunton, Clancy Brown and James Whitmore are very good as well. This film is incredibly sad but entertaining every step of the way. The Greatest Film Ever Made! |

Awesome |

One of the all time greats. Funny, suspenseful, even hopeless at times, this (or multi-plot) set up is just incredible. probably one of the more accurate movies in relation to the book. These are one of the other qualities that make this movie a must see! |

Should of won the Oscar instead of Forrest Gump! |

Wonderful adaptation of a Stephen King Short Story. The depth of the main two characters is what makes the movie so enjoyable. Tim Robbins (in his best performance by far) plays Andy so remarkably, it's like the character walked right out of the Short Story. Morgan Freeman's portrayal of the hardened Redd is the perfect Yang to Robbins Ying. I felt like I was part of the movie. The ending is also perfect as it shows you can have hope in any dismal situation. I recommend this movie as a Must See!!! Very thought provocing and will keep you glued to the screen until the credits! |
