Spell binding

Rating: 10/10 (27 September 1999)

I went to this movie on spec when it first came out. Little was I to know that it was to become my favorite movie of all time. From the very beginning shot of the prison, to the last shot of the beach in Mexico, the movie had me in every emotion possible. Fear, joy, laughter, sadness, despair and hope. The acting was great, Freeman was robbed for not getting a deserved Oscar for this movie. It is one of those rare movies which you can sit down to over and over again.
