Terrific

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2000)

This year's movies have been a real disappointment to say the least. Aside from the Sixth Sense not one movie that I have seen has been even remotely as good as their trailers usually are. So when I walked into The Green Mile I wasn't expecting that much. When I walked out however, I couldn't help but think what a great piece of storytelling I had just seen. Just like Saving Private Ryan Tom Hanks is excellent, but the supporting cast is what really makes the movie great. David Morse is great as Hanks' buddy "Brutal". As is Michael Clarke Duncan as the lovable John Coffee. It's Doug Hutchinson however, that I thought put in the best performance in this movie just because I hated him so much. The Green Mile is truly a can't miss movie.
