I was speechless after seeing this wonderfully acted piece of work.

Rating: Null/10 (15 December 1999)

This motion picture is a winner! I see motion pictures from different perspectives.... The Content, Genre, Topic, Historical Perspective, Direction, Cast, and The Acting (Performance of the Actors)...not in any specific order. I do consider myself a movie buff, and to that end I was completely satisfied with this film on every count.
Aside from the immediate draw and participation of Mr. Hanks,as Paul Edgecomb, the performances and that of Michael Duncan, as John Coffey and Michael Jeter as Eduard "DEL" Delacroix was outstanding. The acting of veteran Dabbs Greer and David Morse was well casted in their roles and their performances were magnificent. There were great performances by the remaining cast. I must say that even the limited amount of screen time with Gary Sinise he controls the scene and is always compelling. Everyone loves Bonnie Hunt, anyway. (that's a compliment). I am anxious to see the lesser known actors in more roles in other films. Doug (Percy Wetmore) Hutchison, the guy you love to hate has a screen presence that will catapult him into more roles and a brighter future. If I had one thing to say about this motion picture it would be how well cast it was- Actor to Role. I can't think of ANYONE ELSE performing in the roles of this film.
