Very good film

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 1999)

The Green Mile was an awesome film to say the least. If you liked The Shawshank Redemption than you'll also love this. It is however, far to long. I realize that it was taking places over 6 very small novels by Stephen King but it still was far to long. I didn't feel this way until I felt it was time for it to start wrapping up things and I kept on checking my watch for the next hour it dragged on for.
There are some parts of this film that may stick in my head forever. The mouse, the healings, and most of all the extremely disturbing death chair sequence towards the middle of the film. The cast is all well done and it was also superbly directed. The audience was in tears by the end of the film and I felt it too. This is something that should be seen to be believed and by all means should not be ruined for anybody.
Like I said, my only major problem with the film is the length of it. The way it wrapped up took forever and a few parts just seemed to drag on for quite some time. That would be one of the only reasons why I highly recommend seeing the flawless American Beauty over this, which is an hour shorter and is a visual masterpiece by all means. Do not get me wrong though, this film is easily an 8 out of 10.
