Classic

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2013)

One of my all time favourite movies. The film tells the story of Andy Dufresne, a banker who spends nearly two decades in Shawshank State Prison for the murder of his wife and her lover despite his claims of innocence. During his time at the prison, he befriends a fellow inmate, Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding, and finds himself protected by the guards after the warden begins using him in his money laundering operation. Definitely worth the watch, if you haven't seen it. You are missing out. It is well written, scripted and well acted by Freeman and Robbins. This classic will be one that can be watched over and over. Frank Darabont made this the classic it is.
