Brilliantly combines comedy, tragedy, and miracles-GO SEE IT!

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2000)

A film that brilliantly combines comedy,tragedy, and miracles. So many different elements come together to create this magical film. I applaud the performances of all of the actors. Their depiction of each of the characters is incredible...almost uncanny. Paul's leadership, the rugged innocence of Mr. Coffey, the unforgiving weaknesses of Pursey, and the simplicity of each of the inmates creates a temporary reality for the audience unlike any other. If you liked Shawshank Redemption, you'll love this one! GO SEE THIS MOVIE AND HOPE THAT IT GETS AN OSCAR!
