two of the best actors of all time give the performance of their careers

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2005)

pair two of the best actors of our time (Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman) with one of the best writers of ALL time (Steven King) and what do you expect? one of the greatest pieces of film of all time...my only complaint is the length of the film, but for what you get, it is well worth it...one of the most moving, powerful films i've ever seen, Tim Robbins gives the performance of his career, and Morgan freeman is near his best from beginning to end, i never lost interest in "shawshank redemption", and there was never a time i didn't care what was happening to any character...although it is very constrained in environment, it gives the viewer the sense of freedom and independence among the inmates, despite their confinement by far one of the most emotional and moving films i've ever seen, i've rarely felt so deep for the characters in a movie
