Another Tom Hanks Smash!

Rating: 8/10 (9 August 2001)

How can you go wrong when you cast Tom Hanks in the lead? I just saw this movie this past weekend and was very much in awe of the 189 minute movie. Very seldom can I sit through a movie of that length without getting bored but in the case of The Green Mile, I was definitely in for a treat. One would think that all of the characters Tom Hanks would be the same but he breathes life into each character with an originality that is unique and captivating. His portrayal of a prison guard was a drastic change from characters like Forrest Gump. It's good to see that this heart warming movie ranks so highly on your polls.
