Ratings and reviews

Among the top 10 films I've ever seen, it's a multi-layered and complex drama which inspires and uplifts the reflective viewer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

With an amazing story line and actors such as Morgan Freeman giving the characters life like personalities, this truly is a great movie that everyone should see.

It is a brilliant movie, there is a review suggesting Andy Dufresne was guilty of the murder of his wife and her lover, dumb is the uneducated thinking they are, it is more than clear he is an innocent man and those that think otherwise should stick to romantic comedies or cartoons.
