Astonishing, a land mark of film making

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2014)

WOW! Initially reluctant to watch it mostly due to it's long duration I sat down and expected the worse. Never have i ever been more wrong. John coffee placed in death row for a crime he didn't commit gives an amazing yet emotional performance. Tom Hanks at his best plays prison guard who becomes somewhat attached to to the innocent inmate along with the others to give of some of cinema's most best entries. A land mark of film making. However what I love the most isn't the main plot line but the little things. The tiny sub-plots which don't necessarily seem important but in the end paint the bigger picture. No one could replace and do a better job than any cast members. Definitely needs to be watched because films like this are occasional and in fact rare to cinema and it definitely deserves appreciation.
