Unbelievable performance by Tim Robbins

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2000)

What a fantastic movie! Tim Robbins gave the best performance I have ever seen by an actor and Morgan Freeman was excellent, also. There are some unbelievably moving scenes in this film. I foolishly passed it by at the theater and at the video store. When I saw it on cable for the first time, I realized it was a truly special movie. Why? I could not put my finger on it until I read the summary on the video box in the store. It really is a triumph of the human spirt with a tremendously satisfying ending. This is one of the best movies I have ever seen and it will be added to my collection this Christmas!
