A Must Watch

Rating: 9/10 (13 November 2010)

An awesome movie... a must watch for every Cinema lover. If you haven't seen this movie you have missed one of the top movies in the last 20 years. One of the all-time best films ever.
Robbins plays Andy Dufresne (a banker wrongly convicted of slaying his wife and her lover) with such perfection, you become convinced of not only the role of this protagonist, but the nature of his character. It is his unquestionable performance that ultimately leads us to be surprised by the changes in the character in the last third of the film. The changes are smart, clear and reasonable, but like real life, they are surprising. This is Robbin's best acting ever.
Morgan Freeman plays an inmate in the Shawshank prison that eventually befriends Andy and is the only one to gain insight into the real motivations of his friend.
A true master piece.
