Friendship and hope overcome all.

Rating: 9/10 (26 February 2015)

One of my favourite films all time. Shawshank Redemption is a story about mans hope and how friendship can overcome all. The cast give a great performance throughout the picture. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman carry the movie, but Bob Gunton and Clancy Brown are perfect as the Warden Norton and prison guard captain Hadley respectively. And James Whitmore's portrayal of an elderly inmate Brooks is moving. The screenplay gives almost every actor at least one or more memorable lines through out the film. As well as a very surprising "twist" near the end that almost knocked me out of my chair. If you have not seen this movie rent it or better yet buy it. As I bet you'll want to see this one more than once.
