Director Frank Darabont does justice to Stephen King's novel! Unfortunately I can't say justice was served when it comes to the men who found themselves facing death row in the film! We soon learn that much like real life 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! I had never heard of Doug Hutchison before this film and I must say…
