The best ensemble acting in a beautiful masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 1999)

The Green Mile contains the best ensemble of actors. In any film with Hanks it would be easy to lose the other actors in such a huge shadow, but everyone shines with equal brilliance. All the characters are believable. The script is absolutely amazing and spreads the mezmerizing dialogue around very democratically. Also, that mouse deserves some kudos for performing so well. The Green Mile is the best movie I have seen this year, and while sitting for three hours seems to be an awfully large commitment on behalf of the viewer, not a minute of it is ill-spent.
