Definitely not overrated at all, ive seen it 800 times and even if I catch it halfway through I GOTTA see the rest of it.

That being said, one issue I had with the movie is aside from Andys bullies in the beginning, none of the prisoners are portrayed as being, well, prisoners. They all seem like good ol boys doing time together, so much so that its hard to imagine that they committed crimes to be in prison for decades.

I mean think about it, Andy was in prison for 16 years before escaping, and all his friends were seasoned veterans when he got there, which means they were serving 20 to as many as 50 year sentences in Brooks case, thats pretty serious ass time. Youd think theyd have at least SOME hardened criminal vibe to them.
