Doesn't need to redeem itself for anything, it's perfect.

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2003)

****
Starring: Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman, and Bob Gunton.
The story follows Andy Dufresne, a man wrongfully accused of murdering his wife, but he is really innocent. He befriends a few prisoners, and then finds a way to escape the prison.
The movie is one of the greatest movies of all time. It has every single element that makes this wonderful.
Very highly recommended.
