Overrated

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2006)

This is by no means a bad movie, but it's certainly not as great as many people claim. I have watched it a couple of times already now and I just don't see what's so brilliant about it. The story is good, but not excellent. The acting of the biggest part of the cast is good, but I really can't identify myself with Andy, the main character. He is sentenced to life imprisonment, while being innocent. Though, he just doesn't do it for me. You would expect me to feel sympathy for him, because of his situation. To a certain degree I do of course, as I do with anyone who is done injustice. But that is not enough, that's why I think this movie is overrated.
