if you liked 'The Shawshank Redemption', don't see this one

Rating: 2/10 (11 March 2001)

Those who have seen 'The Shawshank Redemption' and liked it should remember director Darabont by that one. Because everything that worked for that movie, 'The Green Mile' is lacking. In this overlong and oversentimental story Darabont starts to think the world is devided in good guys and bad guys and once he has begun making his point, you don't want to listen anymore. This one didn't deserve all the nominations it got and you simply can't believe Darabont waited so long with his next movie and came up with this.
