Director Frank Darabont does justice to Stephen King's novel! Unfortunately I can't say justice was served when it comes to the men on death row in this film! We soon learn there are both good and bad men on both sides of the prison bars!
A character driven story that very much succeeds due in part to the roles being given to actors with well deserved acting pedigrees such as Tom Hanks, David Morse, Michael Clarke Duncan, James Cromwell, Barry Pepper, Michael Jeter, Graham Greene, Sam Rockwell, Jeffrey DeMunn, and Harry Dean Stanton just to name a few!

Review by Steve Dickson ★★★★★ 2

Forgot how good this is. It’s a really good story and the cast is brilliant. It certainly evokes many different emotions as it goes. The run time is long but it certainly flies by.

Review by Peter Barnes ★★★★★

Holy shit this film is sad! This is easily the saddest film I have seen. Tom Hanks is Oscar worthy here. This is definitely one of his best performances ever. Michael Clarke Duncan Rest In Peace. This is easily one of the best performances I have ever seen on film. Michael you are a fucking legend. In conclusion The Green Mile is easily the saddest film I have ever watched and it is also one of the best films ever made.

Ein Film, der mich von Anfang an gefesselt hat! Wollte ihn nach dem ersten schauen direkt noch einmal gucken!
Review by ailsino ★★★★★

This highly moving supernatural thriller holds an excellent representation of the biased views of 1930's America and the previously flawed capital punishment system. Aside from this, it also manages to portray our protagonist, John Coffey in a tender and vulnerable light with a performance which we may hold close to our hearts.
Tom Hanks provides and original and gripping narration to the piece with the fresh perspective provided from his unlikely character.
Review by xerographia ★★★

I never noticed how small Frank Darabont’s filmography is... I also never put it together that he made Shawshank. I remember this film here but not well enough to review but deeply.
Marked as need to rewatch.
Review by Deniz ★★★★½

"He killed them with their love".
OK, it's not quite as good as I tenner it, but the ending just destroys me. Michael Clarke Duncan is perfect as John Coffey, no one else could've portrayed him. Still the saddest and most tear jerking movie I've seen.

ESSE É UM DOS MELHORES FILMES QUE EU JÁ VI CHOREI MUITO MEU DEUS.
Review by Sophie ★★★½

Weird, yet somehow quite formulaic and predictable with quite stereotypical characters. Don't get me wrong - it's a very good and well made film with some wacky storytelling, but it wasn't the MOST interesting film.
