A Cinematic Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2016)

Best film ever made, a cinematic masterpiece. Well acted and with a moving, engaging plot, this is a must see for any wannabee film buff. Featuring a stunning soundtrack and superb direction by the fantastic Frank Darabont (of whom i am a big fan, The Green Mile, The Mist are my other two favourites of his). The performances in this film are perfect, both Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman give career defining performances which will never likely be topped. However, these two. alone do not overshadow a phenomenal supporting cast. In conclusion The Shawshank Redemption is an emotional roller-coaster it can make you laugh, cry, smile, frown, but when the end credits roll everyone can surely agree that what they have just witnessed is a artistic, modern cinematic masterpiece, a thoroughly re-watchable, timeless classic. In short, SEE THIS FILM.
