Like Bernard Matthews Turkey Drummers--Bootiful!

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2004)

I had heard this film was good and saw it sat at number 2 in the top 250 and appears in many all time great films top five list.You could say my
expectations were a little high.
This sort of thing can spoil a film,you expect a lot and it doesn't deliver,mainly due to the fact you listened to the word on the street and were let down.It Shawshanks case,however,this was NOT the case.
I have been putting off watching this film for years,don't know why, just one of those films I never got round to watching,what i didn't know was a 'classic','epic' was gathering dust on my shelf and i didn't know it.
Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are superb and not many films get me choked at the end,didn't quite get me but it was sure close!
This film is a feel good film,an unlikely one maybe and tinged with sadness but all the more reason to watch,i'll be watching it again I can assure you that.
