Why was Andy called the even Steven killer in shawshank redemption?
The Boston Register dubbed him the even-steven killer because Andy was said to have shot each victim with four bullets each.
The DA made quite a big deal out of this during the trial and used it as the basis for it being a cold blooded act because a revolver only holds 6 shots, meaning that Andy would have had to have reloaded the gun to finish the job.

What is an old movie of a man who fell between two walls while trying to escape prison?
In The Shawshank Redemption (R) 1994, Andy Dufresne was a banker who was supposedly wrongly accused of killing his wife and her lover. He was sentenced to a very nasty prison, set around the 1920s-1930s in the south. Because of his accounting skills, the warden makes Andy the warden's assistant. Each day, Andy "cooks the books" for the Warden's crooked enterprises, with one book showing the doctored figures, and a second book showing how much money the Warden was stealing.
But after many run-ins with the Warden, the intelligent but soft-spoken prisoner decided he would escape. He planned this for likely a year or more. He dug a large hole through the wall of his cell, covered by a poster. The hole dropped him between the walls behind 2 rows of cells. Note: He did not "fall". It was part of the escape.
The night he left, a thunderstorm started. With each crack of lightning and thunder, Andy beat a sewer pipe with a rock (covering the sound he was making). He then crawled I think 1/2 mile through sewer water and feces to a stream outside the prison wire.
During his planning, Andy redirected the Warden's stolen money into savings accounts in the city under a fictitious name and requested a birth certificate with a fake name. So after he escaped, he went to each bank to get the money. He also mailed documents to the authorities about the Warden.
Andy then goes South. Police arrive at the prison to arrest the Warden-----but.... he's a coward and kills himself. His top guards are arrested.

After losing his bet that andy would crack first ( he did not think much of him at first glance ) he realized that Andy had a way about him, something Red liked.
" I could see why some of the boys took him for snobby. He had a quiet way about him, a walk and a talk that just wasn't normal around here. He strolled, like a man in a park without a care or a worry in the world, like he had on an invisible coat that would shield him from this place. Yeah, I think it would be fair to say... I liked Andy from the start."
What are opinions on the movie 'The Shawshank Redemption'?
A little "dark", but it adequately portrayed the emotional state of someone who had been falsly arrested. It was also quite accurate about the inside of a prison, the kinds of things that go on and the attitude of some guards from that era. Not all guards were that way, in fact most weren't. But there were enough corrupt guards that it is worth showing. In all, I would consider it a film to see for someone who is interested in what goes on in a prison.
