A powerful and emotional film

Rating: 7/10 (12 August 2001)

The Green Mile a very effective, powerful and well performed movie. Tom Hanks is good as always but this is one of the rare films he has been in where he did not give the movie's best performance, that belonged to Michael Clark Dunkan's performance as a mysterious person on death row that has the power to heal. This movie is all very well crafted and well paced. This movie isn't perfect though. Racism didn't seem to be an issue at all which is kind of strange it being the 1930s. I can't quite call this film a masterpiece because in some ways it's kind of sketchy. Still it's powerful and deep. I give it an 8 out of 10.
