Great story and performances

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2017)

'The Green Mile' is considered by many to be one of the best films of all time and it's easy to see why it's held in such high regard. It's a brilliant film with a story that has it all - there aren't many films that will make you laugh and cry like this one will, and that's what makes it special.
Aside from the story, this film benefits from some excellent acting performances. Tom Hanks is one of my favourite actors and he is simply outstanding as the guard, likewise the rest of the cast all contribute to an all round excellent film. My one gripe, however, is the overly long running length. As a general rule I don't like long films, and while 'The Green Mile' certainly didn't feel like it had been padded out, I do feel it could have been trimmed by half-an-hour or so.
