A masterpiece!

Rating: 9/10 (11 July 2017)

Originally a Stephen King novel, this conversion to a movie was transformed to perfection. I think this one has to be one of the best Jail- type films, right below Shawshank Redemption.
We got the performance we've come to expect from the great Tom Hanks, but the real sleeper hero of a performance here was by Michael Clarke Duncan. You can't help but feel his emotions and sympathize with his character. Truly an outstanding performance. He deserved all his nominations and I wished he had one the Oscar for this film. His performance alone is the only reason anyone needs to see this film.
I only wish the pace of the entire film was a little faster, and the 189 mins was much, but overall still a great film!
A well deserved 9/10 from me!
