Shawshank review

Rating: Null/10 (3 December 2012)

The Shawshank Redemption is perhaps one of the most well thought out and intricate movies of its time. Released in 1994 The Shankshank Redemption stars Andy Dufresne played by Tim Robbins along side Ellis Boyd 'Red' Redding played by Morgan Freeman. When Andy is convicted of double homicide he is sent to live out his days under Wardon Norton in a small imaginary town in Maine. To say the least Andy makes the most of his life on the inside. . Andy with his sly smile and cleaver tactics weaves himself deep into the prisons web of secrets and lies, but the prison is not the only thing hiding secrets. The secrets that are held in books that Andy keeps for the warden are nothing compared to the secrets the lie behind the walls of Andy's very own cell. This movie is so good it is hard to describe in words. It is truly amazing how you pull for each and every character despite their questionable pasts. This movie will have you pulling for convicted felons in a way you never imaged you could. From beginning to end this story brings you back in time right inside those cinder-block walls. It brings you through the friendship, tragedy and ultimately the redemption of Andy Dufrane.
