Shawshank Redeemed.....a truly majestic movie

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2004)

This perfect prison drama has everything except women. Tim Robbins gives a truly majestic performance and should've been nominated for an Oscar alongside co-star Morgan Freeman (he's good, too). It's a whole lot better than other prison movies you see nowadays. The film is honest, deep, and shows that you can find hope in the most unlikely of places. I would give this movie ten thumbs up if I had ten thumbs. But since I don't, I'll just give it two. I wish Stephen King could write more honest stories like this one. Remember, this movie came beforere 'The Green Mile', and everyone knows classics are always better. It's nice to see that Hollywood can produce movies that aren't complete garbage.
