Synopsis
The Payback
A murderous, two-timing thug tries to score the big dope deal...and we're just talking about the filmmaker here! But "dope" IS the operative word when it comes to The Payback And The Vegas Bloodbath.
The Shawshank Redemption
Imprisoned in the 1940s for the double murder of his wife and her lover, upstanding banker Andy Dufresne begins a new life at the Shawshank prison, where he puts his accounting skills to work for an amoral warden. During his long stretch in prison, Dufresne comes to be admired by the other inmates -- including an older prisoner named Red -- for his integrity and unquenchable sense of hope.
