Movie: The Green Mile [1999]

My rating: 4/5

Director: Frank Darabont

Genre: Crime | Drama | Fantasy

Plot: The story about the lives of guards on death row leading up to the execution of black man accused of child murder & rape, who has the power of faith healing

Cast (Major): Tom Hanks, Michael Clarke Duncan

Review:

Had been long waiting to see this movie. At last when it happened, it was really worth the wait. One of the few beautiful movies i have seen. Hanks comes up with yet another splendid performance and adds crisp to the good cast. Particularly Michael Clarke Duncan as John Coffey, Wow! He, his size, his innocence surely can't go unnoticed. Every scene creates an expectation on what's going to happen next and satisfies pretty nicely too. It makes a good watch. It may not be a feel good movie, but definitely makes you think a lot about humanity and human values. I am waiting to read the book from which it has been adapted.

P.S. This review of mine was approved and posted at IMDB :)
