One of my all time favorite movies. Although there's not much action, the plot and acting pulled me in. Throughout the movie the suspense keeps building and building with everything happening to Andy you just feel bad for him. It all leads up to him escapping which he rightfully deserves to.
Clearly Tim Robins was devoted to his role as Andy Dufresne. The way he stays in the same exact character through the whole movie is impressive. He always has a mild composure with little outbursts of anger and rage which I think he uses perfectly. Morgan Freeman as "Red" was impressive as always. Taking almost the mentor role for Andy to help him get through being in a jail until finally escapping.
