An Exhausting Drama, and the Best Ending EVER.

Rating: 9/10 (23 June 2013)

The #1 rating on IMDb.com's top 250 is no mistake. It was one of those movies where you feel exhausted at the end. Morgan Freeman was mind- blowingly authentic in playing Red and was made for the part.
The plot was well thought out, and the escape by Andy was surprising even as a viewer.
And the last 20 minutes are the best of any movie I've ever seen. It didn't leave you in tears of sadness or happiness, just a fantastic sense of closure.
The acting was terrific and a spectacular way to use 2+ hours. Highly recommended and in my Top 10, easily.
