Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is one of the greatest stories ever told. Griwing up, I had never really been a Stephen King fan because of the macabre naturebto all his stories. But, after Shawshank Remdemption and Green Mile, King is one the greatest writers of our time. The disc works just like any other.

Probably the best movie ever made. Worth it to rewatch.

If you haven’t seen this before you should rush out and purchase and watch! This movie is Morgan Freeman’s acclaimed voiceover roll that put him right up there with James Earl Jones. The acting and script so well written, and the story is sad & triumphant blen mixed well into a survivor story.

This is an excellent film, one of the very best adaptations of a Stephen King novel. It is a good story well told by a first rate cast working at the top of their art. Video & Audio are excellent. This film is a welcome addition to our modest video collection.

I almost feel silly reviewing this because, if you are old enough, you know that this was one of the top 2 or 3 films of the 1990s. Numerous Oscar nominations, great performances by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. BTW, have you heard Morgan Freeman narrate a documentary? He never did that until people heard how well he narrated this film. Not a film for kids, there is prison violence, etc, But it is not a film about prison, it is a film about life and succeeds magnificently in this effort.

This is a must own film. The 4k transfer is excellent.

What's to say? A modern classic with an engaging, gardening story and great actors. Truly a feel good movie. The 4K transfer looks great and especially the many dark areas in the movie's color scheme sure very precise.

Excellent movie , a classic, it looks as if this movie was released this year, it’s amazingly beautiful in 4k UHD and especially having the LG C1 oled 65” tv I bought last year at Best Buy, this movie looks amazing!!

Simply amazing and an absolute must have. This film was great on VHS/DVS/Bluray and its improved upon again on 4k disc. Everything from the picture to the soundtrack are just gold.

Great movie. If you’ve seen it then you know it’s good. If you haven’t I highly suggest it. Better to own a physical copy when it’s hard to find on line.

The Shawshank Redemption holds the Number 1 spot in the Top-250 English Movies listed by IMBd with 9.3 rating. It is one among the best movies ever made in World Cinema and applauded by many film critics. This film was directed by Frank Darabont who adopted the storyline from Stephen King's Novel - 'Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption' Tim Robbins played his career best lead performance as Andy Dufresne along with Morgan Freeman who played the role of 'Red', an influential prisoner, who can bring in any stuff inside the jail. Morgan also narrates the story from his perspective with his impeccable voice over throughout the film. He basically narrates the life journey of the lead character - Andy Dufresne. The movie begin with a murder mystery which makes the innocent banker Andy Dufresne to go life prisonment in Shawshank prison against the charges for murdering his wife and her lover. Initially, as a viewer audience may expect a murder mystery to be solved but surprisingly the story unfolds the life of the prisoners and journey of thier friendship, trust, affection and emotional tie backs with other prisoners I never watched Tim Robbins films and this was my first watch of this ace actor. Undoubtedly, he had given his career best performance in this film but surprisingly, he did not get any recognition from Oscars for his best acting performance. During the initial phase of development many leading actors including Tom Cruise were recommended to play the lead role but nothing materialised and finally it was played by Tim Robbins who delivered a flawless world-class performance The director perfectly casts the lead and supporting roles. The film comprises of many bone chilling moments which are well crafted with some impeccable writting. Though it was adopted from the novel all cinematic treatments were perfectly balanced to creat this world-class masterpiece.I strongly recommend this film for all the movie buffs who appreciate world Cinema. Also, people who love happy ending flicks with a strong message should definately watch this film. It is available in prime and don't forget to use earphones to experience the top notch and heart melting background score. The best thing about this movie is, we experience it with the narration in the background voiceover by Morgan Freeman. It actually helps to bring in the emotional connect with the audience along with some great messages about life, hope, trust and positive attitude. If we look at from technical aspects, we can certainly experience the great work of lighting and camera with an amazing twisted climax scene. The unexpected twist and turns from the very beginning till the end with some stunning lifetime best performances, flawless writing and brilliant Direction, makes "The Shawshank Redemption" a must watch flick.

A superb movie, Back when movies had great content.. Wonderful acting If you Buy a DVD, you own it.. If you Stream it..someone can still it, delete it..

One of the best movies of all times. I couldn’t figure out where this movie was going when I was watching it.but boy was I happy at the end.

Great movie with great performances-an all time classic. The 4K transfer is great as well. Worth upgrading if you just have the blu ray.

Along with The Green Mile, two of my most favorite contemporary movies. Robbins and Freeman were superlative in this flick.

It's hard to say anything that hasn't already been said about this movie! It's perfectly written, acted, and filmed. It's mesmerizing and and a wonderfully told story. Robbins and Freeman are amazing and the rest of the cast perfect for their roles. One of my favorite all-time movies.

Best friendship movie ever! Based on a short story by Stephen King! Perfectly cast and beautifully dircted by Frank Darabont! It's a must see!

Love the Steelbooks! Great Artwork & display much better than plastic cases! One of my favorite movies! Had to get it in 4K!

One the greatest movies of all time. Glad they made a 4k version. Highly recommend. A must see movie.

When I first saw this movie, I found it to be intregingly unique. I had no clue as to the origin of the movie, why it was made, or even based on. The more I watched this movie over time, the more I wanted to add it to my collection.
