One of the classics

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2001)

This is definitely one of the greatest films of all time.
I watched it again for the second time last night, and was thrilled to see some scenes which I'd completely forgotten about.
The story is gripping, and it's superb how it unfolds. The acting can't be faulted, and the music really gives it a monumental feel. Brooks is a great character, as are all of the characters really, but if I had to pick one out, Brooks is the man.
Not only is it entertaining, the subplots are great and there are some classic lines. Like the warden at the start: "There are two things I believe in; discipline and the Bible. Here you'll receive both. Put your trust in the Lord; your ass belongs to me. Welcome to Shawshank."
A classic.
