One of the best movies ever made

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 2006)

If you can't watch a movie which doesn't contain any explosions, wild car chases or corrupt cops, then this movie probably isn't for you. However, if you enjoy a good story with great acting and execution, then you really should look into "The Shawshank Redemption".
So why is the movie so good? The movie as a whole is simply breath-taking. In addition to the exceptional story, everything is "just right". I've seen loads of movies with good stories, but most of them seem to fail in other aspects (poor acting, poor camera-work and such) making the movie as a whole not live up to its potential. "The Shawshank Redemption" is NOT one of them. It actually manages to pull it off, resulting in what I deem to be one of the best movies ever made.
I give it a 10/10, without any hesitation.
