Exemplary!

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2002)

"The Shawshank Redemption", like "Lord of the Rings", is an exemplary film. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. The actors all do a fine job, from Morgan Freeman to Tim Robbins. The plot is outstanding, probably because it used one of Stephen King's best novels as a screenwrite. And the setting, well what can you say? Shows prison from a whole new standpoint. As of now, this film is tied with "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" for the best movie I have ever had the pleasure of viewing.
