Story telling at its best

Rating: 9/10 (13 April 2008)

John Coffery (Duncan) appears on death row every inch the murderer. But his huge presence is misleading as he proves himself not only a sensitive soul, but a man imbued by the power of God. When Coffery performs miraculous acts of healing, Edgecomb (Hanks) begins to believe he is innocent. But is that enough to prevent Coffery from "Old Sparky" the electric chair?
Polished it is, profound it ain't. A big, tasty meal that lacks the nourishment of Shawshank. Saying this, I was touched more by the characters than in Shawshank. Though it is unfair to judge it in Shawshank's wake alone as this is complete a piece of story telling as ever was.
