Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2005)

After seeing The Shawshank Redemption on television, I knew I had to see the whole film. It was incredible. After that I decided to read the book, and this is one of the rare times that a film outdid the book it was based off of. Even though the ending of the book was the same (poster, escape), the film just had a certain something to it that made it amazing. Tim Robbins ad Andy is extremely captivating and he almost entirely becomes the roll of a nobody. Not just any actor can do that. I can watch this movie time and time again and to me it will never get old. The music, dialouge, acting, and plot are award-deserving parts of a film that should go down in history as a classic.
