a film with monumental force

Rating: 9/10 (14 February 2006)

This movie, well what can i say from the same director and author of The Shawshank Redemption which you can sort of guess from numerous similarities.
The movie starts off in an elderly peoples home where we meet Paul Edgecomb a resident at the home he talks with his friend and eventually starts telling her the story of John Coffey...
We go back some 60 years to the time when Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks -who i thought was magnificent in this film)worked in the "E" block in Louisiana state prison everything in this prison is pretty routine with nearly all the cell mates on death row bound for a visit to the electric chair this all changes when John Coffey(Michael Clarke Duncan- also exceptional) who was wrongly accused of the rape and murder of two small girls ,the man who stands at a bit over 8ft comes into the "E" block upset and with a remorseful look on his face the guards are soon very shocked to discover that this giant of a man is afraid of the dark.The Guards soon find out the mysteriousness of this man who it seems couldn't of been guilty of this crime as they also find out that he has the power to perform miracles.
This is a magnificent movie one that I strongly advise any movie lover to see it is a very upsetting movie so don't try to promise yourself that your not going to cry or be very emotional because when the credits come rolling you really cant help it not as great as Shawshank but definitely up there.
10/10 WITHOUT A DOUBT!Deserves to be up in the top 50 movies of all time not in the 120's!!!!!
