An intriguing bit of movie magic.

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2001)

I never read Stephen King until someone sent me the Green Mile in paperback version. While there are slight discrepancies in every adaptation from book to film, The Green Mile (movie) stays true to the original warmth, beauty, and brilliance of the book. I have, of course, seen other works of Stephen King, notably The Stand. He is a talented writer with a knack for bringing any story to life in vibrant, vivid color.
Tom Hanks is perfect as Paul, and Coffey was cast superbly. Anyone who wants to see a great movie needs to see The Green Mile. You won't be sorry.
