So much like the book, it's like watching the book.

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2007)

After watching The Shawshank Redemption also written by Stephen King and directed by Frank Darabont, I had high hopes for The Green Mile and I was not disappointed. The story revolves around a prison guard on death row where prisoners wait to be executed. Normal work for Paul Edgecomb that is, until John Coffey, a large black man convicted of raping and murdering twin girls, enters the cell block. A beautiful book, a wonderful film and a director who literally takes the characters out of the pages and puts them on screen, it becomes an incredible mix of drama, fantasy and mystery. I highly recommend buy a box of tissues before watching this film.
