Green Mile

Pros: Powerful story, beautiful cinematography, acting
Cons: Some scenes are hard to watch, very graphic

The film starts with an elderly man in a nursing home, and you get the impression that he is a nice guy and a good guy, but no milquetoast. Then, a movie comes on, in the community room, and he starts crying, as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance ...

Pros: Good insight as to what it can be like on death row.
Cons: Could have been a little more upbeat

Another very good movie in my opinion. It brings to my mind a lot of questions as to how thoroughly a crime is investigated and the accused questioned before deciding if a person is guilty or innocent. In North American history there have been people who...

Pros: great acting by Hanks, Morse, Hunt and Duncan
Cons: very long-three hours

My grandfather was a prison guard for over twenty years, starting out in Indiana, then worked in California. What he did was supervised the men where they learned a trade, making sure they were doing the job right and weren't out of line. Many men wrote...

Pros: powerful message, brilliant acting, endearing characters
Cons: a few very difficult scenes to watch, lots of profanity

One movie that has intrigued me since I first heard of it is The Green Mile. A couple years ago, my aunt gave me a copy of it, but we never got around to watching it because of its length and its probably gruesome (because of the author) and...

Pros: very very good acting, great comedy and drama! great ending...Tom Hanks rules!
Cons: tooooo sad! heh heh!

This is a great film! Powerful, entertaining, funny, and very sad. Tom Hanks gives an excellent performance as Paul Edgcombe, a prison guard set in the year 1935. Edgcombe awaits their new arrival, little does he know that the new prisoner is a...

Pros: Such a great movie...to think...it really could happen
Cons: none

I think this is one of the most important movies I have ever seen. It really makes me think this could have been someone in my family that this happened to. We really need to let the whole story out when asked. We really need to try to be more...

Pros: Moving story
Cons: N/A

As a movie buff, I have found that I have become quite critical of the releases over the past 7 years. With this in mind, you will understand why "The Green Mile" is required viewing. The performance of the entire cast was remarkable with...

Pros: An all-time great movie; unforgettable
Cons: Violence and brutality you'd expect from a death row movie. Still worth seeing.

If you ever saw Ellen Burstyn in Resurrection, you'll be reminded of it in The Green Mile. Stories about the ability to heal others with a touch can be very compelling, especially when mixed with the resulting misunderstandings and hatred that forms in...

Pros: Cast and story. Well written and performed. Good drama.
Cons: None.

This is yet another fine film by Stephen King. A good movie and exceptional drama.

Although the subject matter is of an adult nature. Considering that the inmates are on death row for violent crimes of murder.

Tom Hanks and the...

Pros: great for all ages
Cons: some of the foul language

To start off with this is a great drama.I had recently purchased this wonderful movie.I came back and updated my material on the Green Mile.I never realized how silly it sounded until I went back and reread it.I'm glad I did.No wonder I got such poor...

Pros: is the only movie that portrayed the book so well
Cons: just as sad as the book

Stephen King's The Green Mile caught my eye when it came out originally as short stories. I read each and every short story and enjoyed them every bit as much as I would have if they were placed together in one book. Then of course when they were...

Pros: Every minute of the movie is a Pro
Cons: You need to have three free hours (it is a 3 hour movie)

This movie was great. I already knew the story line because I had read the books, yet the movie still evoked every emotion within me. This is a very thought provoking and moving story. Not to mention that there a couple of funny moments in the film....

Pros: emotional, great acting, wonderful adaptation
Cons: 3 hours long

This movie staring Tom Hanks and Michael Duncan was a powerful adaptation of Stephen King's The Green Mile. The movie stays extremely close to the original story line of the book and was very well done.

They explain near the beginning...

Pros: Written by Stephen King and stars Tom Hanks
Cons: Kind of long, but worth every minute of it.

Miracles happen in unexpected places, even in the death-row cellblock at Cold Mountain Penitentiary. There John Coffey, a gentle giant of a prisoner with supernatural powers, brings a sense of spirit and humanity to his guards and fellow inmates.
