Nothing pretentious here

Rating: Null/10 (4 April 2018)

Prison guards on death row during the Great Drepression in Cold Mountain Penitentiary. Tom Hanks, playing a prison supervisor, showcases his acting chops in this fantasy laden Stephen King story adapted for the screen. Along with Hanks, the movie is loaded with many seasoned actors who step up and give this dirge of a movie much needed energy and life. One of my favorite actors is Sam Rockwell who played 'Wild Bill' Wharton. As Wild Bill he played a crazy man and spent time wearing a straight jacket in the rubber room. All he wanted was a piece of corn bread. With a solid screenplay you are convinced there was such a prison and Michael Clark Duncan had special supernatural skills. You'll have to watch the movie to see what I mean.
