Darabont & King - A deadly combination

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2000)

If you enjoyed The Shawshank Redemption, don't miss the Green Mile. Though they are both prison movies, the difference is in the way the men imprisoned make the best of a bad if not impossible situation. The outcomes again are very similar, but different as well. Tthey each touch the lives of many supporting characters in many different ways. Miracles can happen anywhere!
The book was a little better then the movie but I think it's mostly because King's character developments are more in depth . It would have made the movie 4 hours or more had it followed the book. I recommend reading the book before or after the movie. Either way, you'll have stumbled on a gem of a book & some wonderful performances in the movie (Notably Michael Clarke Duncan (Best Supporting Actor) Tom Hanks (Best Actor), David Morse, Michael Jeter, Bonnie Hunt, Sam Rockwell and Doug Hutchinson.) This is a Must See movie!
