If only the mile day in gym was watching this...

Rating: 7/10 (7 May 2020)

SYNOPSIS:
Everything begins to change for the guards on death row when John Coffey comes to the green mile. Unexplainable events start taking place that change their lives for the better and for some... the worst.
REVIEW:
I have to start off by saying the acting in the film is incredible. Something you expect with a cast like this. Tom Hanks, David Morse, James Cromwell, Michael Clarke Duncan and the list goes on. Sam Rockwell is one of my favorite actors working today and he plays Wild Bill so well. I also really loved the performance by Doug Hutchison as Percy. You can really feel the tension of the room when Percy walks in. Then I swear Michael Clarke Duncan has to restock on fluids heavy after losing as much as he did for this film. The man can cry for days I couldn't believe it. Then Tom Hanks had me feeling his pain when trying to pee, I started sweating myself. If you've seen the movie you know what I'm talking about. The direction by Frank Darabont was done really well. He had very good timing and kept the flow of this 2 and a half hour film smooth. I do have to say that there is an element of this film that took me out a little. When the unexplainable events start taking place I was down a little bit. I like when things stay grounded and realistic and so for me, I was slightly disappointed. Other than that, there's not many bad things to say about this film. One of the last scenes of this film was beautifully acted and delivered from Darabont and left a good taste in my mouth. For that, this is a definite recommend. 7.6/10.
