One of the best movies ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2013)

This is without a doubt one of the best movies I have ever watched. It has everything you can ever ask from a movie without being cheesy or over the top on any score.
I love the way the story is told by the main character himself. You can really see the life of a prisoner in there and the struggle they all go through. They somehow manage to find things to make them enjoy the time and eventually get used to the idea of staying inside the prison. They all learn to become friends but still finds enemies, like the warden and some of the guards. They are portrayed as the good guys even though they are prisoners who has committed crimes. You really bond to them through the screen and can look through their eyes. The ending of this movie, the first time I saw it, was so unexpected! The way he had spent so many years to carve a hole in the wall and then escape. And then the very last scene when they meet each other again on the beach! 10 out of 10!
