Synopsis:

Academy Award-winner Tim Robbins ("Mystic River," "The Hudsucker Proxy") stars in this Oscar-nominated drama about a banker who is wrongly convicted of the murder of his wife and her lover. While serving a 20-year prison sentence, he befriends convicted murderer Ellis "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman). Although imprisoned, their friendship helps to keep their spirits free. Adapted from a short story by best-selling author Stephen King ("Dreamcatcher," "Hearts in Atlantis"), this highly acclaimed picture was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Director and Screenplay. Academy Award-winner Morgan Freeman ("Million Dollar Babyr," "Driving Miss Daisy") received an Oscar nomination for his powerful performance. With Gil Bellows (TV's "The Agency," TV's "Ally McBeal"), Bob Gunton ("The Perfect Storm," "61*"), Clancy Brown ("Starship Troopers," "Dead Man Walking") and Oscar-nominee James Whitmore ("The Majestic," "The Asphalt Jungle").

5 out of 5 stars Must Have   February 23, 2010
Joumana Hathout (Dubai)
An amazing movie. Easily one of the best movies made during the 90s and definitely one of the top 'prison' movies of all-time. Pretty much everything about this movie works and works extremely well!


5 out of 5 stars My ALL-TIME favorite movie!   February 19, 2010
Charles Johnston
I was sold on this movie over 10 years ago and it still way outshines anything else, especially any other prison movie. I have seen it through from "start to finish" at least 12 or more times plus bits and pieces I have caught while channel surfing. Nominated for 7 Academy Awards this movie has a produced real cult following..(just Google it!!) This DVD played smoothly right away with no extra codecs needed or anything else on my Windows 7 64 bit Acer laptop using the built-in Windows Media Player. That has not always been true for WMP in Vista and XP. Required codecs had to be purchased or pirated and that really stunk IMHO. I met Morgan Freeman in 2003 in Clarksdale,MS at an art gallery grand opening and thanked him for sharing his talent with the world. He was as regular a guy as you or I and a very cordial gentleman. He is also part owner of the Ground Zero Blues Club there in Clarksdale. A great talent and a great guy as comfortable to be around as an old shoe. This is the
- #1 BEST PRISON MOVIE EVER - There is some graphic violence , graphic language and potentially offensive homosexual content FYI Which is EXACTLY the way prison really is (I know.)

You will love this movie , you'll never tire of it, you'll gift it to your friends (like I have done)and you'll be riveted from the very opening scene. The ENTIRE cast is so well placed which includes Tim Robbins, the warden, head guard and all the convicts. See for yourself. I can also recommend the 2 DVD special edition for great cast interviews and behind the scenes cool stuff. This is a classic movie and a keeper 110%

What a wonderful movie. I like how it turns into a feel-good flick, but not until the very end. Well done IMO


5 out of 5 stars Top 10 Movie   February 6, 2010
Matthew Mcelroy
The Shawshank Redemption was easily one of the Top 10 movies of the 90s. Despite a fairly formulaic plot, based on a Stephen King book, it's still a great movie. People say that voiceovers are one of the ultimate cop-outs in movies. It allows the plot to advance without actual acting. But when Morgan Freeman is narrating, I'd watch a video about making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
