This is the review number 6264... not bad, huh?

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2019)

I clearly remember reading the novel by Stephen King before the movie was even conceived. Yes, Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are superb in this movie, as well as any supporting actor. And yes, Frank Darabont made a stunning work to transfer the story onto the screen, but to me Stephen King remains the real reason why this film is still the number one here on IMDb. Story and characters are magnificently powerful already on the book and the film director managed to follow every page slavishly.
