Two words gut wrenching.

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 2002)

At the end of this movie I was so emotionally drained it was all I could do to look at my husband and say "oh my god". It is the most gut wrenching film I think I have ever seen. The performances by all of the actors are without a doubt top notch, not one of them fails, not one of them lets the other down. The story is riveting, and brings a Stephen King novel to life like many others have failed to do. It took me several hours to recover from watching this because of the emotional upheaval which one must go through watching this film. It is not fluff, it is not light hearted entertainment it is a soul searching, defining moment in film that will not be equaled for a long time. One piece of advice, do not watch this movie if you have something else you must be doing, don't get up to get a drink, don't read the newspaper, make sure you have 3 hours to dedicate to watching this masterpiece. It is worth every second of your time and will leave you with images and emotions for a long time after the tape has finished. Perfect 10/10.
