Shawshank Redemption

Rating: 9/10 (25 April 2017)

I believe that it is an excellent film.The film begins with the conviction of Andy Defresne (Tim Robbins) a banker who in 1946; was ordered to serve two life sentences, back to back, at the Shawshank prison in the State of Maine, for the murder of his wife and her lover. The film portrays how Andy Defresne, uses his banking knowledge to gain "freedom" from predatory inmates and the officers in charge of the prison. In the passage of time, he becomes hopeful and influential within the prison. This made him gain the respect of his co-inmates, especially longtime convict "Red" (Morgan Freeman) who became his closest ally. Andy eventually, achieves freedom by escaping.
