an extra ordinary story about a prison life...

Rating: Null/10 (2 March 2011)

i absolutely loved this movie...its a little long for a conventional Hollywood material, but does not feel slow or boring at all. Tom Hanks, as always did a marvelous job. the emotions of various prisoners has been portrayed so beautifully and how they find some or the other things to live their life as joyfully as they can... if i were to rate this movie out of 5... i'd give it 4, the reason being its length for which i'd deduct a point. As the novels of Stephen King generally include some supernatural characters, so does this one. one of the prisoners has healing powers and his arrival in the prison changes everything...
