overwhelming

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2000)

This knockout of a movie is the best of the Stephen King "morality" films such as the wonderful "Shawshank Redemption" and the TV versions of "The Stand" and "Storm of the Century". "Green Mile" manages to inspire and devastate at the same time. The casting is interesting, utilizing such actors as Bonnie Hunt and Dabbs Greer brilliantly and everyone performs with warmth and deep feeling. Hanks, of course, is the glue. Michael Clarke Duncan is powerful in his simplicity. This is a film that will never leave me.
