Amazing! One Of The Best Movies Ever!

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2007)

This movie was nothing short of amazing. I had watched it a couple years after it came out but I rented it recently and I have watched it over and over. The acting is amazing, the suspense is great and the events in the movie are gut wrenching, tear jerking and sometimes even stomach turning. This movie shows you what some prisons can be like in some places at different points in time. The cast is great, with Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne, an innocent man who is sentenced to 2 back to back 20 year life sentences for "murdering his wife", Morgan Freeman as Ellis Boyd 'Red'Redding, an old man who has done years for a murder he committed when he was a teenager, Andy and Red become good friends in prison, there is also Clancy Brown who plays Captain Byron T. Hadley, a vicious prison guard with no remorse or conscience, and Bob Gunton plays Warden Samuel Norton, a crooked prison warden. I highly recommend this movie to anyone fit to watch a movie so disturbing in scenes. So go out and buy this movie, you don't even have to rent it to see if you like it, trust me, you will. I'd buy it but it isn't exactly an easy one to find here.
10/10--Amazing..Highly Recommended
