Another Masterpiece about prison life!

Rating: 10/10 (14 May 2015)

This film is yet another in an ever-growing list of excellent works of art that explain why I love Morgan Freeman! As usual, he holds your attention in the most powerfully subtle manner! Tim Robbins is FANTASTIC! He's so amazing in this role! It's worth watching at least three times. There's some hard-hitting stuff but that's to be expected in a prison film. The ending is so poignantly beautiful and simple yet has an incredible emotional impact if you allow yourself to be transported to that time and in their place. It helped me have a little more compassion for inmates and ex-convicts. It's not for anyone under 18, so don't allow minors to view it. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it. You won't be disappointed!
