Movie for mind

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 2011)

This slow paced movie gradually unfolds into a spectators' delight. Many things could have gone horribly wrong but the director did a splendid job.
Morgan Freeman once again proved his mettle. But Tim Robbins was unable to do justice to his part. But hey! That's my point of view.
But one thing made me glad and that is this film exhibited how HOPE can be a very beautiful thing albeit a dangerous one. Deprivation of the hope of being free. God! That is simply unnerving.
The movie raised many questions. About how the legal system is not fool proof, how innocent men get mauled by the very thorns which were placed to protect them. Also being punished for a crime one didn't commit and living in a hell for 2 decades. Is there any worse punishment???
Beautiful, awesome, fresh, exhilarating, hopeful and a MUST WATCH.
