Unforgettable

Rating: 10/10 (29 October 2003)

This is one of the greatest films of the 20th Century,
Its a drama, Its a buddy picture, Its a prison movie, It's strange thinking of The Shawshank Redemption as a buddy picture though, especially when you consider that Andy's friend Red is a convicted and an admitted murderer and yet Red seems so gentle and trustworthy, also the other guys in Red's group such as Heywood seem nice as well and we dont even know what crimes those guys committed but when you watch this movie you dont even ask yourself what crimes they committed, you just assume it's murder.
watching the friendships development in this film is really moving, watching Red worrying about Andy the night and day after Andy Escapes just proves that they were more like brothers than friends,
The Shawshank Redemption is the only movie I have ever given 10/10 or a five star rating out of 5, I first watched this film when I was 14 years old and loved it then, im 20 now and I love it even more, this is my number 1 movie of all time.
Perfectly casted, directed and edited. An American Classic.
