good story plot

Rating: 8/10 (25 February 2014)

the movie was good but not as expected... movie was slow before halftime and also later after halftime. characters portrait was appreciable,life of jail shown was real and cruelty within jail too.I didn't intend to see this movie at all: I do not like prison movies and I don't normally watch them. I work at a branch library and one day as I was checking The Shawshank Redemption out to one of our older patrons, she said to me, "Whenever I feel down or depressed, I check out this movie and watch it and it always makes me feel better." At the time, I thought that was very strange. One day there was nothing on TV except things I absolutely would not watch under any circumstance or things that I had seen too many times already. I remembered what she said, so I watched it. I have watched it many many times since then and it gets better with every showing. Morgan freeman's acting was good as usual.Tim Robbins performance was good. cinematography,direction everything was superb. every character shown in the movie was perfect. perfect timing of everything. hope to see such movie's in future....
