I thought it was one of the those 3-hour movies ...

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2000)

Yet I found myself glued to the whole drama, not forgetting feeling terribly sad when John Coffee had to be executed. The only trouble I had was listening to what John was saying. The beginning portion reminded me of Saving Private Ryan, where the whole story was recounted as a past event. The difference is the impact of the past on the present was a little different in The Green Mile ... Enjoyed it, because the story is original with elements of a good human drama, humour and spirituality.
