Deeply moving, yet very realistic!

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2001)

This film is up there with the classics! Is a deeply moving story, which portrays friendship, trust, hope and corruption. The ending is superb, and brings a smile to my face every single time i watch it. It shows a very realistic view of prisons in the 1930's where the officers were almost, or even more corrupt and evil than the inmates.
This is film which will never become outdated or even considered to be 'coming of age'. With superb acting from Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, it has to be the best film I have seen in a long long time.
