One of the greatest films to come out of the Hollywood system.

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2016)

One of the greatest films ever made. It is not by accident that Stephen King agreed with this adaption of his work because Mr. Darabont did the work justice. From script adaption, to the casting, to the overall aesthetic, this film is truly a masterpiece. Not only does Morgan Freeman find rare form with his performance while making this work, but Tim Robbins showed his unique styling as well. This is simply a work of brilliance, and I can only hope that films like this will continue to be created for the world to enjoy. Kudos to the creative team, and all of those who put so much work into making The Shawshank Redemption. I will always have a special place in my heart for this film.
