The Shawshank Redemption

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2018)

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadger
Frank Darabout's first directorial credit is a masterpiece. Shawshank is a film that must be experienced by everyone young and old. It has a touching, powerful, and heartfelt story. It has complex characters and a detailed storyline. Even after 20+ years, Shawshank holds its own as a masterclass film.
The acting is great. Tim Robbins gives the best performance of his career. Morgan Freeman also delivers a wonderous performance. All of the supporting characters add so much to the story.
The pacing is perfect and the runtime is good at just under two and a half hours.
All in all, this film truly does belong at the top of IMDb's Top 250. It is a powerful film that deserved to win some Oscars.
Pros: Touching, powerful, and heartfelt story, amazing acting, good pacing, a good runtime, wonderful supporting characters, and great directing by Frank Darabout
Cons: None
Overall Rating: 10
