Why it's the best movie of all time

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2010)

Having seen this movie several years ago, I decided to rent it again since I couldn't totally recall the movie. And yes, it being number 1 on the top 250 list made me want to see it again. I decided to go into the movie as if i hadn't seen it before to completely enjoy every aspect of it. The first thing I noticed was its amazing story, and even better, its gripping tale that hooks you from the very beginning. Tim Robbins (Andy) and Morgan Freeman (Red) give superb performances. I would go as far as to say that Shawshank is Freeman's best movie (besides Seven). The plot is amazing, with many sub-plots and twists that keep you from doing anything else. And the best part: the ending of the movie. I don't want to give away anything about it, but I'll just say that it rivals the ending of The Usual Suspects in every possible way. All in all, great story, great acting, great plot, awesome ending. What else could you want in a movie?
10/10 and nothing short of the best movie of all time.
