A Great Film Experience

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2000)

The Green Mile is one of those films that makes you feel proud you went to the movies to see the picture. Why? Because The Green Mile has it all: Drama, Romance, Comedy, and everything else in a movie that makes it a masterpiece. Especially the acting by Tom Hanks as the pleasent prison guard and more especially Michael Clarke Duncan as the miracle prisoner John Coffey (like the drink, only not spelled the same)and he not only gives his best performance yet, he gives probably the best performance of the decade. Add that plus a great score, great story (three hours gives it time to expand) and great direction (by Frank Darabont) and you got a great film.
