Cinematic Brilliance

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2004)

A film I can watch over and over again - great storyline, beautifully filmed, top-notch acting - I always feel good about myself after watching it - there's hope for us all, even the most downtrodden nonentities in this miserable world of ours! cinematic brilliance. Tim Robbins plays the lead character's role with such a classy understatement, & Morgan Freeman delivers a powerful and nuanced performance that always lifts my soul as well as the great performance by all the supporting actors. I will be the first person to admit to having a slight eclectic taste in films, but this still ranks as one of my favourite films of all time. This truly is my definition of cinematic brilliance - pity we don't get more films like this anymore.
