This incredible film is about patience through hope to finally find redemption. One of my all-time favorites. Every time I see this film, it renews my faith in the power of acting and storytelling.
I don't know what the 1995 Acadamy Awards missed, but it doesn't matter. Anyone who see this film will be blown away by Tim Robbins and especially Morgan Freeman. I mean, gheesh; these 2 will take your breath away. I don't beleive there has ever been a film where the actors nailed it. These 2 not only nailed it, but sank it for good. This film will stand the test of time and should be seen by everyone who likes a good story as well as superbly phenominal acting.
