A Modern Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2001)

The Shawshank Redemption is the type of film which has divided its audience into two categories: those who loved it, and those who don't care for it. There is rarely anything between. Flawless acting, passionate direction, and a memorable score have made the film a powerful cinematic experience, and at times, it can be thought provoking. It never lacks in pace, there is always a steady rhythm to the film. The Shawshank Redemption is a modern masterpiece.
