The best film from a Stephen King story....

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2001)

"The Shawshank Redemption" is the best film from a Stephen King story. The best by far. This film fits together so intricately and the end seems almost impossible. It's what everyone wants, of course, but it just doesn't seem possible. This movie could not be more perfectly cast, and the direction is impeccable. The story draws you in. This movie and "The Green Mile" are alike in the sense that they capture your attention for the entire film. These films are powerful and well-made. "The Shawshank Redemption" sits on another level. It is a film that will not grow old. It will stay fresh and fulfilling as the years go by. This is a must-see film. To go without seeing this movie is quite a loss. Do yourself a favor and see this quality flick!
