This review will be on the movie The Shawshank Redemption

Plot: Andy Dufresne is an innocent man sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison for the murders of his wife and her lover. While in prison he forms a friendship with Red, experiences brutality of prison life, all in 19 years.

Acting 9/10: Everyone did well acting but Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman really carried the movie. I especially enjoyed the narration in this movie by Morgan Freeman. Tim Robbins probably had a better performance in this movie over any other movie he has been in. I did really enjoy the chemistry between Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins. Especially the "Get busy living or get busy dying" scene.

Overall Rating: 10/10

Would I recommend it?  It has a very well written ending if you do enjoy plot twists. Without a doubt watch it you won't regret it. It is after all in the discussion for greatest movie of all time.
