The Perfect Prison Film

Rating: Null/10 (14 May 2015)

*SPOILERS* I'll just get it out of the way now. This is the prime example to prove that Morgan Freeman is among the greatest narrators ever, if not THE best. Tim Robbins, the lead in this movie, creates a great duo with Morgan Freeman, with the dialogue shared between the two feeling natural, as well as superb acting from both. The story line is what presents the backbone for these great performances as the narrative is a major part of what makes it one of the greatest films of all time. A man is accused for his wife's murder, is sent to prison where he serves life sentences which gives him the time to redeem himself (though he did not commit the crime is accused of) and eventually escape. The movie is full of great writing, acting, directing and cinematography and deserved to win at least one Oscar out of its seven nominations.
