awesome a real life changer

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2004)

where do i start i saw this film a couple of years ago and have since recommended it to a lot of people.tim robbins and morgan freeman are magic and are convincing throughout and there friendship is very believable the tale of the hellish prison and sadistic guards are harrowing and seem sometimes hopeless for the helpless inmates but hope is the the moral here if u have hope u can overcome anything......and its true i guess we need movies like this to remind us there is hope no matter wot our situation...at the end of this movie i was in tears the twist and end scenes are like i have never seen before as for tim robbins i never saw him act so well since which leads me to believe he may choose poor scripts....although morgan freeman is always a powerful actor his on screen presence is overwhelming and id say probably in my top five actors along with ,denzel washington and al pacino .....i read a comment by a guy stating this movie should be voted down the list why if u read everyone everyones comments this movie means so much to so many people I'm sure anyone will agree with me and deserve its place and the more people who see it the higher it will go although its not as well know as godfather all the best movie fans and thank you IMDb for such an unrivaled movie site .
