Terrific drama with great unpredictable ending

Rating: Null/10 (2 July 2003)

"The Shawshank Redemption" is one of the most touching, thought provoking movies of all time. With the fabulous performances from both Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins to the amazing ending, "Redemption" never fails to please.
The story is about Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), a small-time banker wrongfully convicted of killing his cheating wife. He is sent to prison, where he meets Red (Morgan Freeman). The two strike up a friendship that spans the two decades that Dufresne spends in jail.
I'd imagine how hard it was for the writers to make a story that lasts over twenty years still interesting, but they do it perfectly. From the inmates discussing different books in a library to the sinister warden (Bob Gunton) forcing Dufresne to do his dirty work, your attention is never taken away from the screen.
I'd really like to explain the unpredictable ending, but that'd really spoil the experience, so go see it for yourself! Great drama, 9/10.
