What happens on the mile, stays on the mile.

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2011)

Tom Hanks puts forward another great performance in his acting career. One of his greatest performances since Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan. In this movie, he plays the head prison guard of a death row prison, or the green mile or the mile as the guards call it. It also features the second collaboration with Tom Hanks and Barry Pepper, who is also a pretty good actor. But he did a very terrible job in Battlefield Earth. And the roll of John Coffey played by Michael Clarke Duncan was absolutely amazing, remarkable, breathtaking and very touching. He plays a death row inmate accused of murdering two little girls which he did not do who and he is also very huge and strong and has the mentality of a child. He is basically the guy you would feel sympathy, empathy and compassion for. This is Michael Clarke Duncan's best film role to date. Doug Hutchinson was awesome as Percy, the guard who has no respect and no compassion for the prisoners. He is pretty much the guy who thinks, who cares about the prisoners and has little respect for his colleagues. He is also the guy you would just love to hate. And finally, hands off to James Cromwell as the prison warden. One of his best film performances. The Green Mile is one of the most touching and most gripping movies I have ever seen. Along with the Shawshank Redemption, this is one of the best prison movies ever made.
