Best movie I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2000)

Friendship. In a word, this movie is all about friendship. Great casting makes the characters believable. Extraordinary acting makes them come to life. The bond developed between Andy (Tim Robbins) & Red (Morgan Freeman) is so real that you feel it. If you're not a sensitive male going in, you will be one coming out. Go BUY this movie. It'll make you laugh, cry, and -- most of all -- hope. The supporting cast is almost as good as Andy & Red. The warden is diabolically evil. And his #1 minion (Clancy Brown) turns in a first-rate performance. Much attention was paid to the sets. Not much left to say except . . . what a movie!!! There is no comparable film work out there. I "hope" someday there will be. 'Til then, The Shawshank Redemption is the best-in-show.
