The Shawshank Redemption - Movie Review

Any story written by Stephen King is bound to make for a great film. Frank Darabont did a commendable job bringing this story to life. The plot is great and the movie gets you hooked from your first minute of watching.

The story is about a banker named Andy Dufresne who was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his wife and her lover, even though he was innocent. You can clearly see at the start that he did plan to do it, but he changed his mind and got rid of the gun and left.

He came to his senses and decided that murdering them isn't the right plan. But the next day they end up getting murdered anyway and he was the prime suspect. He goes to prison and we see his hardships, conflicts, good deeds, and the friends he made along the way. 

Each character was unique and interesting, whether they were good or bad, they were all memorable and you got that intriguing feeling about them. You loved to hate the guards, the warden and especially Bogs and his crew who always brutally assaulted Andy.
