A fantastic movie

Rating: 9/10 (8 November 2015)

This is by far the best prison movie ever. The movie has everything a movie in this genre needs and it all blends together perfectly, a bit like the industry decided to release a "best of" record and this was the result. One of the movies greatest strength is it's balance; it doesn't deny the miserable conditions inside a prison while not taking advantage of it, and despite the sorrow it is nothing but a feel good movie.
Tim Robbins as well as Morgon Freeman are doing an excellent job portraying their characters and the prison environment is displayed with excellence. It is easy placing your self in that prison and it routines.
Despite my love for the movie I can't say I agree with it's #1 ranking on IMDb, but it most simply be due to the fact that people can't find anything they dislike about it.
