Speechless

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2010)

"You know the funny thing is, outside, I was an honest man. I had to get into prison to become a crook" It is lines like this, that can effortlessly just make me shut my mouth, and marvel at this work of art. Morgan Freeman plays by far the most under-appreciated supporting roles in film history, and deserved the Oscar in my opinion (just watch the fifteen minutes after his prison sentence, particularly in the end, at Buxton, (I am being very subtle so I don't spoil anything!) and you will know what I am talking about). Take nothing away from Tim Robbins; sometimes, that one acting performance defines a legend. And honestly, if you are reading this review without having watched the movie yet, ...well, Go get it!! As far as rating goes, I would say "Let all other ratings be relative to Shawshank"!
