Long touching film

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2006)

Mr. Edgecomp is the keeper in the green mile, the prison for the people that are condemned to death. One day arrives a new killer: John Coffey, who has raped and murdered two little girls. Even at the first moment, he notices something weird in Coffey, he seems nothing but a murder and strange things began to happen there, which make us realize that there's hope for miracles, even in that place. In this movie, the acting is superb, with one nomination to "bear" Coffey, absolutely deserved, and a Tom hanks in his greats moments. The plot is very interesting and catches you from the beginning, and keeps you wondering what is going to happen at every moment. The movie throws you deep in the magical world of Stephen King, where, almost everything is possible and the atmosphere is, also, perfectly done. A great film that maybe is too long, when the ending is to arrive, the rhythm stops totally and makes the las half an hour a little boring; with a better work there, possibly it would have reached the ten. to sum up, a great hard film, with great story and great acting and a great amount of touching moments. Maybe too long, but very good anyway.
