Great movie

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2002)

This is one of the best movies I have come across. The acting of Tim Robbins is excellent but it is Morgan Freeman as Red who steals the show with a breathtaking performance. The story continually kept me interested and Tim Robbins' struggle against nearly every inmate in shawshank. Its possibly only his great friendship with Red that keeps him sane.
It was also strange to see one of the sisters in the movie who continually try to rape Tim Robbins, played marine hard man Drake in "Aliens", which is also one of my all time favourites.
Great movie. Rating 9/10.
