A masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (7 June 2006)

If this movie isn't a masterpiece, then nothing is. The story and the actors feel very real and they just charm you from the very beginning. You can feel all the emotions that appear in the movie, when something is unfair you just want to break an expensive object and when something good happens you sit there, smiling like a little sun. Tim Robbins is excellent for the part of Andy Dufresne and Morgan Freeman couldn't have been a better choice for the speaker and the role itself.
Even though the movie is full of surprises it allows you to figure out a few things yourself every now and then. But in the long run it consists of many unbelievable twists and turns and there's just not one boring second. I'm not surprised about the rating either, this movie just deserves to be as high up on all lists as a movie possibly can be. If you haven't seen it, you know what I want you to do next.
