3 hours , 8 minutes & 12 seconds of boredom

Rating: 7/10 (26 February 2001)

I sat for 3hrs,8min & 12sec, watching this very well acted & effectively made bore. The story makes no sense to me whatsoever, I did not for one second believe any of the story line
Stephan King wrote the original story, The director Frank Darabont wrote the screenplay, The same director did The Shawshank Redemption, ,which was supreme entertainment, You had people you could care for in that one. In this film,none of the major performers are any one who you would want to know. The Guards are all except one too nice & sweet, The Inmates are either loonies, or half wits. The main convict a big 6ft 8 in giant is a sweet dumb...../. Tom Hanks is the head guard, & as usual he does a good job,so do the others.
I can only give this *** mainly for the acting & production
