Without a Doubt, One of the Greatest Movies I have Ever Seen

Rating: 10/10 (19 April 1999)

The Shawshank Redemption is an absolutely terrific movie that shows why Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are two of the finest actors alive today. I predict years from now Shawshank will be held up as a true American classic. This is a flawless film. My one regret is that I never saw this on the big screen. (I think the odd name 'Shawshank Redemption' and the fact that it was a Stephen King story kept me away initially [thank goodness for cable TV]) I urge anyone who reads this to please see this movie. It is the best film I have ever seen about life and hope.
