Frankie Boyle has spoiled Shawshank Redemption for me with his line that 'when I was young I used to ejaculate like it was firework night, now I'm a lot older, it's like Tim Robbins escaping from Shawshank'...
When I first saw it at the cinema I did really enjoy it. Never seen it since or on a small screen, and people did boo in the cinema, but I thought it was great at the time, minimal, clever, built a lot of tension. Be interested to know what gripper stebson 's take on it.
