One of the best Stephen King adaptations ever!

Rating: 9/10 (28 August 2003)

I absolutely loved the origional novella "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" by Stephen King on which the movie is based, and the movie perfectly reproduced the emotional response i had from the novella. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman were definitely the best choices to play the two leads. I thought that Robbins in particular deserved an academy award for his portrayal of Andy Dufresne. If you havn't seen this movie yet, rent it right now! You will not be disapointed.
