A Good Movie, but Definitely Not Number 1!!

Rating: 6/10 (5 August 2016)

Cons : This movie is kinda very slow-paced, but it might fit its nature and its plot.
However, this should not be the first movie of all time, because it , as a matter of fact, isn't. The Godfather, for instance, deserves the title.
From an other perspective, it's kinda unfortunate to not see Red playing the Harmonica, that would have been a good part too...
I can see the whole "Brooks" arc a waste of time, that could've been shrunk within very few minutes.
Halas ! Few more cons would be stated , but I'd go with the pros : A movie that beats all expectations, so is the plot, and so does it, because whenever you see a scene , you expect something, but it goes otherwise.
The ending is really good, few movies manage to strike the bullseye when it comes to endings. The Shawshank redemption did the job fortunately, and it delivered.
The plot's exciting-radiation was on its climax with the last quarter of the movie.
Worth 8 and not 9.3.
