Hanks picks another winner

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2000)

Probably the best film I've seen of the year; The Green Mile deserves all the plaudits and awards it gets.
Tom Hanks is excellent as the prison guard on death row, but Michael Clare Duncan is superb as John Coffey, the miracle working giant.
The barbarism of the death sentence comes through during a blundered execution that was the deliberate work of a sadistic guard.
Thought provoking and moving throughout, the length of this film wasn't a put off whatsoever. Several funny moments also made it enjoyable as well as moving.
