The 4th Greatest Film of 1994 (In My Opinion)

Rating: 8/10 (23 March 2013)

This film is great. I cannot imagine someone walking away from this movie thinking it was even okay never mind bad. Shawshank redemption brings to the table a great story line, great acting and great direction but not the best of all time (In my opinion). I can totally understand why people would think this is the greatest film of all time but I would disagree. The year 1994 to my knowledge is the greatest year in film of all time, bringing five of the best films you will ever see, 1. Pulp Fiction, 2. Forrest Gump, 3. Leon, 4. The Shawshank Redemption, 5. The Lion King. Now I am not writing this review to say that this is in anyway shape or form a bad movie, as it is a classic that should never be forgotten but I am here to say it is a great film but not the best.
Morgan Freeman and Tim Allen do act two great performances in this movie as two inmates at Shawshank prison and some of the dialogue in this film is phenomenal. If you haven't yet seen this film please do, you will not regret it.
