This is such a great film!

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2013)

I watched this tonight for the first time in a few years. It really is superb! Redemption is such a good word. I love the groundwork that goes into the best executed escape ever - the 'this is how I did it' bit is so pleasing!! It's so satisfying to watch when everyone gets their just desserts!! I really like that the story is told through the eyes of red. I like the idea of institutionalization, and the struggle that prisoners face when they leave prison - Brooks story is so sad. I love the pure bliss of Tim Robbins when he does something good for his inmates. And I love the end, so perfect and happy and hopeful! Never disappoints :)
