David Morse - was it just me that thought he stole the show?

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2000)

Not to be compared with Shawshank Redemption - completely different bag of apples - but still very good in its way. The GM is a very short 3 hrs +. It entertains but doesnt have anything very much to say. Good acting, all were good, but David Morse for me stole every scene. The respect he had for Tom Hank's character - love even, shone through every minute.
I noticed that a fellow contributor described the 'bad guard' as 'mean spirited'. Boy were you ever watching a different movie - or maybe you had a vocabulary failure ? No, for me he made the governor in Shawshank look like a girl guide.
