Stunning. Not short but very, very sweet.

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2000)

A testament to the phrase "never mind the size, feel the quality". "The Green Mile" is a masterpiece of storytelling and film-making, with superb work from an excellent ensemble cast - Michael Clarke Duncan's performance is incredibly moving, the sadistic Doug Hutchison is a definite name to be watched, and even Tom Hanks manages to convince you that he isn't Tom Hanks.
Not just Shawshank II, the film takes place on a smaller scale to Darabont's other prison epic, but this by no means restricts the scope of the performances - if anything it gives the actors room to shine. This is compelling viewing that is perfectly paced and never outstays its welcome - and what the hell, I cried like a baby at the end of it, too.
Do not miss - under any circumstances.
