POWERFUL

Rating: 9/10 (2 December 1999)

Take a box of Kleenex with you. "The Green Mile" is one of the most emotionally powerful, tour-de-force experiences of the decade. Emotionally charged scenes. Lots of biblical references throughout, and you're left wondering about which biblical characters Coffey and Hanks represent. My only complains it that the film is three hours long, and I feel it could have easily been trimmed by 20 minutes. There are several INTENSE, graphic execution scenes, one which I felt went a little overboard and should have been trimmed. I recommend this film for everyone (except children under 13). It will make you ponder man's goodwill and the future of humanity.
