A fantastic movie, and a wonderful tale.

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2001)

Great performances from all concerned, and especially from David Morse & Barry Pepper who stand up perfectley well next to Tom Hanks. Michael Clarke Duncan is fabulous and had me weeping, smiling and gripping my seat in anticipation. The story is excellent, if slightly harrowing in places, and you certainly don't notice the length. Fantastic movie making, and one of the few Stephen King stories to actually make it through the film making process well.
