Absolutely brillant.

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2000)

Sometimes, when you see a film, it touches you in such a way that you find it difficult to describe. 'Shawshank Redemption', is one such film. Everything is just class. Freeman should have had an Oscar for his performance as 'Red', and I find it amazing that 'Gump' beat it to best film. Don't get me wrong, 'Gump' is a good film, but in my humble opinion the only film that can come close to this is 'the Godfather'. The ending to the film is just incredible, one of the few times that I have ever almost cried during a film. I won't give anymore away about the film. Just go and see it.NOW.I mean turn off your computer and get a video or DVD of it by any means possible. I agree that this is one of the GREATEST films ever.
