A truely amazing review

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2001)

This film says everything about the world we live in today, but most importantly give us a sense of hope in our future existence. As a film which basic plot, if considered could of so easily been a flop at the box office. Shawshank turns out to be a movie of the ages, through it stunning cinematography, editing and directing, in no way forgetting its remarkable ensemble crowned in my opinion by the astronomically well realised narration of Morgan Freeman. Tim Robbin execution of Andy not only boasts an inate sense of naturalism that Stanislavski himself would be proud of but characterisation that conveys all emotion that encycles the movie. I short a movie of a generation and of the ages. A must see for any true fan of cinema.
