Wow just wow.

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2019)

This film is an absolute masterpiece and I feel the only reason this movie falls on the 250 is the year at which this film came out at. The casting was absolute brilliance, every actor performs their roles amazingly well. That being said the roles Paul Edgecomb and John Coffey play by Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan steal the show, and I would make a case saying this is the highlight of Tom Hank's film career. For a film that just hits the 3 hour mark you will never find yourself looking at your phone or watch to see when this film ends, and when it ends your going to be sad that this gem of film is over. I would heavily recommend watching this with a box of tissues near by as there are many tear jerks throughout the film especially towards the end. One thing I find that goes unmentioned in reviews on this film is the soundtrack, when you watch the execution of John Coffey listen to the music as best as you can, as you will find that it's the main reason you shed a few tears. Too me this is the definition of prison movies (yes I believe this movie is better than The Shawshank Redemption) and is the first movie I think of when someone says Tom Hanks or prison I think of this movie. Frank Darabont did a marvelous job at re creating Stephen Kings popular novel, and this is a rare instance where I prefer the movie over the book.
