Great film, worth it

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2015)

This movie was great, and well worth watching. This is my first review and I just watched the film for a fourth time now, just to write this and I can say as much that story and acting pulled me in and gave me some form of escape from reality just as the first time.
TSR can have pretty dark at moments at times, but in truth I think its a story about hope and one mans desperation for it.
I'd like to bring attention especially to the quality of the acting in most films there are times when we see or hear something in a way that we don't believe and it disturbs the false reality a film is supposed to project, but Tim Robbins & Morgan Freeman so effortlessly pull it off that not once did I falter in my belief that I was watching the story and life of Andy Dufresene and Ellis "Red" Redding.
that is of course till the screen went dark and the credits rolled.
