Probably the best "surprisingly good" film I´ve seen!

Rating: 9/10 (31 October 1999)

I didn´t expect much from this film before I saw it. It had OK stars, the plot sounded pretty familiar and it was originally a Stephen King story. Once I started watching it I thought: "Hey! This is pretty good!". And it got better as it went along. The story was was a perfect mix of high drama and "feelgood" quality. It didn´t matter it was long and the story went along slowly. It was all build-up for the amazing ending which caught me by surprise. Somehow the film has a sense of being more than it seems at first, it´s really an epic story of one man´s determination against the system (or even his given destiny!). If you´ve never seen this film, go see it -you won´t be disappointed!
