Summary: Everybody's Innocent in here, don't you know that?
Review: This movie is to easy to review. Quite Possibly one of the finest films of the '90's. All around solid acting from Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman in the lead to all of the other supporting characters, Heck, even the young kid from Ally Macbeal did a good job. There just aren't many movies out there where absolutely nothing exciting can happen and yet be so exciting and intriguing to watch. Bravo.

Summary: Shaw Shank Redemption-an amazing story
Review: Shaw Shank Redemtion, starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman was perhaps the best movie I have ever seen. Some critics complain that the 142 minute movie is too long or predictable but I think that watching this memorable movie is worth every minute of running time. The story is truly inspiring and unforgettable. The casting, music, cinematography and script create a story that nearly anyone can appreciate.

Summary: Shawshank - one of the best films ever
Review: This film is truly amazing. It really shows the ability of the human spirit. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are flawlessly cast together as true friends and depict real kindred spirits.The movie is full of rich detail and sound in every scene, it's guaranteed to encompass your attention. Very few movies have a plot as deep, emotional, and thought-provoking as The Shawshank Redemption. I recommend this film to any movie buff who can "truly understand" a film's true meaning. The DVD portrayal is excellent. With sharp picture quality and intense sound, especially on a Dolby Digital 5.1 system, this movie is a definate "must have" for any movie lover.

Summary: Stephen King Shines!
Review: The movie was as wonderful as the novel (Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption). Whitmore was excellent and the Warden (his name escapes me) was superb. An incredible job all around... definitely a movie to add to any collection!

Summary: Wow.
Review: I'd heard for a while that this was a good movie. The fact that the word "long" was often used to describe it kept me from viewing it since its release in 1994. I finally sat down and popped the DVD in this morning. Wow. This is an incredible film. I was incredibly moved by the soul of this film. The story is so human and has so many themes that made me reflect on my life. I bawled during and after viewing the film. The performances are excellent. And the director has crafted a riveting film. There are times you really wander "What the heck is going to happen next?", which is quite amazing for a "prison" film. Lastly, I found that SHAWSHANK did not manipulate me or over exaggerate the bad guys as most American films are guilty of. This is a smart film that tells a soulful story. There are great twists and turns that the main characters go through. And the truths at the heart of this film are expressed simply and with care. The DVD presentation is very good. I love behind the scenes featurettes and alternate channel commentary, which are not present on this disc. That is a shame. However, the quality of the film is enough. That speaks for itself.

Summary: Wow
Review: I bought the DVD of Shawshank and set it on a shelf for about two weeks until I decided to watch it. I had never seen the movie, but I had heard it was excellent. Whenever I watch a movie, I take everyone elses opinions and put them aside, so that I may make my own opinion based on what I felt, not what others felt. So, I decided to watch the movie and wad simply overwhelmed by the story that is presented. I cringed during parts of the movie and felt as if I were there actually seeing events taking place. I felt sick at a certain point in the movie (I won't say where, but if you have seen it, you know what I am talking about). And I boo-hooed at the end like a little baby. In all, this movie is one of, if not, THE BEST movie I have ever had the privilage of viewing. Writing about it even gives me chills. Don't wait, buy this movie now, you WILL NOT be dissapointed at all.

Summary: A good Movie
Review: I have seen this movie very recently and found very good. It has no violence and tricky stunt sequences but a good story line with excellent narration supported by the peak performances of Morgan Freeman and Tim Robins. The DVD quality is good and fun watching with a component video enabled DVD player. This movie is worth watching.

Summary: Great cinema
Review: I think this is one of those films that are rarely made these days where there is a story with characters the viewers care about. Anyone who has not seen this film and appreciates good quality cinema, will not regret seeing this. Not just me, but mostly everyone I have spoken to, have loved this film. Even those who do not watch films that much. I am not going to go overboard with my praise because the last thing I want to do is raise expectations. And what I hate the most is when movies are unnecessarily hyped and turn out to be damp squibs. I am just giving you my opinion and I hope this will help you to check out the film. For the storyline of the film, check out the rest of the viewers reviews.

Summary: Robbins' Redemption
Review: When I first saw this movie, I had no idea what I was in for. Tim Robbin's portrayal of Andy is spell-binding. His voice is calm and even, almost monotonous, yet you see the wheels constantly turning. The twists at the end were especially clever. Morgan Freeman's character, Red, was an accurate example of a man in prison and his refusal to look for hope. It was also interesting to see how the once tough-in-prison Red became the mild-mannered grocery bagger after his release, even forgetting that he didn't have to ask permission to go to the bathroom anymore. Some complained of the length, but every minute was interesting and enjoyable.

Summary: The Shawshank Redemption
Review: Worth buying for the film alone. A great story and a well chosen cast make this film a winner - the only problems are the poor picture qualty and the lack of extras on the DVD.
