Ranks on the same level as "The Shawshank Redemption"!

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2001)

This movie is a masterpiece. It will be one to stand the test of time. Stephen King novels quite often turn into excellent movies, and this is one of those which proves it. Tom Hanks is an excellent actor and brings real humanity to Paul Edgecomb. Frank Darabont does not disappoint as the director, either. He made "The Shawshank Redemption" a fabulous film, and did not fail to bring the same strength to "The Green Mile". Michael Clarke Duncan is a spectacular actor. He is massive, and could easily pull off an intimidating character, but as John Coffey he is more lovable than a friendly puppy. I NEVER cry at movies, because I am very picky about all the details being quality, but this movie had me bawling at the end. It is a perfect blend of drama, well integrated comedy, mystery, suspense, fine acting, and superb directing. This is a MUST-SEE movie. This flick CANNOT be missed.
