Rating: 9/10 (26 October 2001)

Paul Edgecombe (Tom hanks) is a prison guard who works on the green mile (The death row is known as the green mile as the mile long walk to the electric chair is carpeted a pale green). John coffe is accused of raping and killing two children and comes to the death row to be executed . John coffe is unusual . Hes 8 feet tall , gentle as a child and afraid of the dark. He is also gods miracle...
Tom hanks is a picture of restraint in this movie . A beautifully executed role by an accomplished actor. Dough hutchison as the bratty, psychotic percy and Sam Wharton as "Wild Bill" are brilliant. Michael Clark Duncan as John coffe is endearing, so is David Morse as officer "Brutus Howell". Most of the sequences in this movie are intense . It does have a few syrupy parts, but they are handled is the subtlest manner possible. This is a classic . period.
