Oscar worthy performance by Clark

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2000)

If Michael Duncan Clark doesn't win the Oscar for his portrayal of the gentle giant and they give it to Tom Cruise who can't act his way out of a paper bag, I'm tearing up my SAG card. Tom Hanks once again proves himself the consummate actor with the utmost understatement in this role of a prison guard with compassion for the inmates doomed to die in his block.
The combo of Stephen King and Frank Darabont is a match made in movie heaven, this being their second collaboration after Shawshank Redemption...another doozy of a film, rich in characters and storylines.
