Great movie, Freeman is unworldly good

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2003)

Shawshank deserves to be named one of the top 10 movies ever created and its a shame it came out the same year as Forrest Gump. Any other year in the 1990's and it would have obtained the Best Picture Oscar. Morgan Freeman gives the greatest performance of his career and considering all the memorable performances he's given, thats really saying something. Robbins is also terrific as Andy Dufrense, the wrongly convicted wife killer. James Whitmore also gives a memorable performance as the lovable Brooks Hatlen. Frank Darabont really outdid himself with this masterpiece. A must see for all ages!
My rating : @@@@@ (out of five)
