An underrated movie, maybe the best in the last 15 years

Rating: Null/10 (2 October 1999)

Why I loved (and still love) this film? There are three main reasons? First the writing is exceptionnal, I haven't noticed a flaw in the scenario (every scene seems logical when you see the film again). Then the actors gives the best of themselves (Morgan Freeman delivers maybe his most poignant performance), but what is remarkable in this movie, is the quality of supporting actors (without them the film wouldn't have worked so perfectly) And finally like I underline above the film shows its full potential only when you've seen it (a least) twice, then you realise the complexity of the story, in fact they could have made two films from this one: One about Red (the old con), one about Andy ("the fresh fish") and his struggle to endure life in prison.
