Truly enjoyed this King story translated into a film

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2014)

Awesome film! The ending is the pay-off! If you enjoy films like King stories like the 'Green Mile' you're going to enjoy this! The film is a period piece, so though I've only just recently watched it, and noted the date it was made- it doesn't even matter. The characters are real, and the settings are very authentic. There were only a couple of things I can honestly say I didn't like. One of them was how prison life seemed to be portrayed. I think it was a lot worse than what was shown. I also disliked how 'all-powerful' the warden was. It was heartbreaking when he had the character of Tommy Williams killed off. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman were fantastic!
