Long, Boring, Predictable, Lame Ending

Rating: 1/10 (1 June 2000)

I can't believe that an actor with the credentials Tom Hanks would star in this film. It was so slow, my family & I were praying for it to end. The plot didn't go anywhere, and the ending was so weak I threw my hands in the air and just asked, "why?" How could they drag the movie out that long for such a stock plot and predictable ending? And the execution scenes seemed to be there for shock value only, and were quite gruesome and gratuitous.
I like Tom Hanks, but I refuse to like a movie he stars in simply for reason that he is in it. There has to be a plot, and The Green Mile came up short. I do not recommend this movie to anyone, in fact I rate it as one of the worst (and overrated) big budget films of 1999 (and probably this decade).
