This is one of my favorite films of all time

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2014)

Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are inspirational as Andy and Red. I have seen this movie about 30 times, maybe more. This film is full of surprises. It keeps you guessing about Andy's guilt until the end. The prison escape reminded me of the Count of Monte Cristo so it was especially funny that this Dumas book was mentioned in the movie. It is a great film about institutionalization. It also is a good representation of prison life in its time period. It would make a great film to watch for a Criminal Justice class. This is a must see movie for anyone who thinks their life has turned out bad. It can always be worse.In Andy's case it was.
