An absolutely brilliant adaptation.

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2000)

The Shawshank redemption is one of a very few movies that lives up to the book it is based upon. Many Stephen King books become almost unrecognizable on the screen, but this one, like 'The Green Mile', stays true to the feel and rhythm of the book. Every time I watch it, I appreciate it more. One of the best.
