The Shawshank Redemption
The Movie Man - wrote on 05/13/09
The Shawshank Redemption is a top notch drama that gets everything right and makes for one hell of a movie. Frank Darabont is in my eyes, the most underrated director making films today and with this film, he has made a masterpiece. His direction is outstanding and his screenplay, based on Stephen Kings short story is fantastic. The performances are incredible all around. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are terrific(as usual). Bob Gunton, Clancy Brown and James Whitmore are very good as well. This film is incredibly sad but entertaining every step of the way. The Greatest Film Ever Made!
