An Amazing Movie in All Areas

Rating: 10/10 (17 September 2003)

The Shawshank Redemption is a great and dramatic movie. It's acting, plot, and screenplay are extraordinary. The directing is very well done. This movie is one of the best pictures to come out of the Hollywood for a long time.
It mainly is about a man named Andy who goes to Shawshank for the murder of his wife. While he is there is meets this man named Red, who later becomes his best friend. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freedman were the perfect actors for their parts. They act very realistic.
While I read the short story by Stephen King which this movie is based on and I realized they got most of the stuff that was in the book on to the screen. This two hours that are spent very wisely. I suggest this movie to anyone is ready to watch a great film with a great ending.
Rated R What I think it should be rated and why: R for some violence and language.
***** out of 5
