Tom Hanks gives probably the best performance of his career aside from getting stranded on that island for years. Denzel Washington is very compelling as well he plays an attorney. Tom Hanks also is an attorney for a law firm he somehow bungles a big case and he get's the blame,, one of the partners notices a lesion on his forehead and starts telling the other partner that Andy has AIDS. well sure enough time goes by and he definitely does have the AIDS virus,, his sexual partner is played by Antonio Banderas who I feel was terribly miscast in this important role,, Denzel himself is a homophobia in the movie,, which I thought was odd because why would he represent someone who actually makes him sick,, I guess in the end it was that he wanted to see justice prevail,, one of the best parts of the movie was the opening shot,, where the Bruce Springsteen song Philadelphia is being played it kinda sets the tone of the whole movie.
