Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2014)

The Shawshank Redemption is cinematic masterpiece directed by Frank Darabont, is the movie of all movies. It has touches of many themes from different types of genres such as drama, action, adventure, crime and mystery. We see brilliant acting from both Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne and Morgan Freeman as Ellis Boyd 'Red' Redding and we also see the amazing and in my opinion a standout in this film James Whitmore as Brooks Hatlen.
Morgan Freeman narrates the movie perfectly with his soft southern tone of voice soothing to the listeners. The scenes of the movie were shot beautifully and the prison looked spectacular when panned out in a shot. The film, being an adaption of a Stephen King short story, has become one of his best stories along with another personal favorite of mine The Green Mile (1999).
This is a truly touching movie and receives my highest recommendation. 10 Stars!
