a solid choice by you.

yup...all took on roles that werent neccesarily the "lead", which a lot of times A-listers wont do....


all played their parts flawlessly....




i absolutley never saw the ending coming....never once did i see that happening to Leo at the end....


great twist....and as much as we all root for the "good guys", its nice to have a ending that isnt absolutley predictable like is often times the case...

Shawshank Redemption(1994) </SECTION><ARTICLE class=mdp-content sizset="4" sizcache="0">

Framed in the 1940s for the double murder of his wife and her lover, upstanding banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) begins a new life at the Shawshank prison, where he puts his accounting skills to work for an amoral warden (Bob Gunton). During his long stretch in prison, Dufresne comes to be admired by the other inmates -- including an older prisoner named Red (Morgan Freeman) -- for his integrity and unquenchable sense of hope.
