A Beyond Great Film

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 1999)

Let me tell you this now, do not let the long running time ( 3:08) turn you off of this excellent film. Okay, I was a little worried that I might not be able to sit through it, but then again I sat through " Saving Private Ryan". Then it came out, and I saw it that night. It has to be the best film of 1999, followed closely by " American Beauty" and " The Sixth Sense" of course. Tom Hanks does it again by playing a prison guard that ends up likeing a strange prisoner name John Coffey ( Micheal Clarke Ducan) because of his " power". The cast is great, David Morse as Hank's rightside man, Barry Pepper as another prison guard, Doug Hutchison as a nasty prison guard and many more. This film does not fell like a long movie if you get caught up in it. I was so I don't know what will happen if you don't. You should see this movie for shear greatness.
