This film sits at the right hand of The Shawshank Redemption.

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2000)

It's humorous, it's exciting, it's touching...I could go on and on about how great 'The Green Mile' is. People compare it with 'The Shawshank Redemption' which is a crime itself because everyone knows that 'Shawshank' is God's favourite! Tom Hanks was...born for this part. I personally think that Frank Darabont wrote this script with Hanks in mind. The problem he has with his penis...no one could have made that look and even feel so real other than Mr. Hanks. Critics gave this film a bit of a blasting saying that Darabont was foolish to go back to Stephen King and try and re-create 'Shawshank'. WRONG! This aint a re-creation! This is a new story, even more depressing admittedly but it's such a fantastic film. I won't give away anything about it other than, if you don't cry at sometime during this film, you have no heart! Well...few exceptions as I am a man of emotion! However, don't miss this film. It's not as 'good' as 'Shawshank' but Darabont does it again!
