One of the very best movies I have ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2001)

I suppose this story just strikes a chord with me. I read Stephen King's novel about a year ago and I felt it to be one of the very best books I had ever read. Today, I watched the DVD and I feel the same way about the movie.
It has a little of everything - life and death, good and evil, hope and despair.
As usual, Tom Hanks gives a superb performance. And so do most of the other actors. I especially enjoyed the portrayal of Brutal by David Morse, whom I was previously unfamiliar with, but I intend to learn more.
My highest recommendation goes to this film.
