No bad word could possibly be said against this film.

Rating: 10/10 (19 September 2001)

When I first saw this film I was completely blown away, it was on T.V. late at night and I was recording it after hearing about it, but after it began I couldn't stop watching it, then again the next day. This film can not be viewed by anyone just once, everybodies performance in this film is excellent, most notably the lead characters. direction, writing, just everything is amazing, and the way it makes you feel when the film ends is quite unlike any film I have ever seen, and doubt ever will again. This is a film that EVERYBODY just HAS to see, something that I have been telling all my friends since.
To illustrate how good this film is I was once asked what my favourite films were, I was in a big group of people, in which many walks of life were represented, I mentioned the Shawshank Redemption and every single person there gave out a sigh of appreciation and a slow nod.
