Brotherhood and altruism blossom from Andy Dufrane

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2001)

It's rare to find a modern movie of this caliber. 'Shawshank' is not cheapened with some feel-good Hollywood romance, heroic fight scenes, or a fast paced, edge-of-your-seat escape plan. In place of this ever-present drivel, this movie excites the heart and warms the soul through the excellent performances, exquisite story-line, and unforgettable quotes. Andy demonstrates a heroic spirit and an indomitable will to touch the lives of those around him.
