Wonderfully offbeat film!

Some things I liked some I did not.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It's a movie not to be missed and indeed everyone in the movie plays thier roll very well

There's not much to say about this movie. It's a cohesive, spectacular work of art. I don't know how long it takes for a movie of this quality and legacy to surface again, but I reckon it's going to take a while.

This movie leave me feeling refreshed...i loved the dramatic depiction of hope and friendship

The Shawshank Redemption was never a summer blockbuster or a critically acclaimed behemoth of a film but it is widely regarded now as one of the best American films of all-time. Many people have cited this movie as having changed their lives for the better when they were going through difficult times in their personal or professional lives. Above all else, The Shawshank Redemption is a story about one man's ability to remain hopeful during the most difficult and harsh circumstances. As Red states at the end of the film, "Get busy livin' or get busy dyin.' That's goddamn right."
