The best prison movie since The Shawshank Redemption

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2014)

Frank Darabont's The Green Mile is his boldest motion picture achievement since his 1994 directorial debut The Shawshank Redemption. This prison film fantasy tells the story of a prison guard named Paul Edgecomb (played by Tom Hanks) a man of whom at first doesn't believe in miracles until he encounters one for the very first time and that is a black man named John Coffey (played by Michael Clarke-Duncan). Director Frank Darabont has not only created a great prison film, but also he has created an inspirational and sometimes sad fantasy. This is the absolute best movie of 1999 because of the great effort put forth for this inspirational masterpiece.
