Movie Review: Shawshank Redemption

Based off the short novel of Stephen King comes one of the most inspirational films of all time, right up there with Rocky even. I don't want to give away any spoilers because that just gets rid of the original watch value of the film. Tim Roberts plays one of the best roles I've ever seen in cinema as Andy a banker turned convict, with his witty sense of humor it is just great. Morgan Freeman plays the role of Red the prison's number one scam artist in the joint, anything you want he can get it. The movie has a huge plot twist that you will not see coming at all and the ending will blow you away, easily the best part of the movie and in my opinion the best ending of any movie. Overall I'd have to say I am a little bias at writing this because this is a review of my favorite movie of all time, so I'll just get down to the rating system.

Plot: 10/10
Based off of Stephen King, that's all I really need to say and about how good he is as a writer.
Acting: 10/10
Robert's interactions with the prison and the people that live in it is outstanding and duel that with Freeman, its just perfect.
Suspense: 10/10
Wow, all I can say is wow.
Scenery: 10/10
Made me really feel like I was behind the walls of the prison as well, very good grasping on the audience to bring them into the movie more.
Special Effects: N/A
No special effects were used.
Overall: 10/10
My favorite movie ever, so of course I'm going to be bias on this review.
