Phenomenal film!

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2016)

One of the best movies of all time! Superb acting by Tim Robbins, Bob Gunton, Clancy Brown and of course, Morgan Freeman. There are parts that will make you laugh and cry, as well as learning how to have a sense of hope in your life. I was recommended by my Grandpa's friends to watch this masterpiece. Granted, there were some parts that were dry and some what of a filler, but what really matters most is how they brilliantly milk the drama and the suspense of how our protagonist goes about his long, drawn out days. Also, if you're Morgan Freeman fan, then you will fall in love with his narration for this movie. The kicker is...it's not even how he sounds, or how low his voice can drop, but rather how he excellently explains every inch of each scene with sincerity and compassion. Basically, it goes to show that writers were able to make this script come to life, and then having Morgan do the narrating was like the cherry on top. However, the actor who you really need to pay attention to is Tim Robbins. Literally, folks... one of the most underrated actors of all time. Talented on every level and is perfect with his timing on when to do what. As you can see, Tim and Morgan have the most perfect chemistry that the producers could have ever fathomed. Overall, a truly heartbreaking, yet heartwarming, film! P.S. When you think it doesn't get any better... wait until the last 25 minutes of the movie, when the climax strikes hard. It is the biggest plot twist in any movie EVER. ;)
