An instant and classic masterpiece of all time!

Rating: 9/10 (22 March 2015)

The Shawshank Redemption is a very moving picture. Top class performances by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman even lift the movie higher. Supporting performances by Bob Gunton, Clancy Brown,James Whitmore are also commendable. The screenplay is top notch, it hooks you up to your seat till the last moment. Background score of the movie is exhilarating at many parts and deserves a special mention. The locations are also good, giving the viewer a realistic feeling. In the end it conveys an important moral of life- patience and tolerance always pays. I wonder why this movie was a commercial disappointment. It is and still remains one of my favorite movies. Enjoy watching the movie!
