Chelsea-5's rating
I am a big Stephen King fan, and usually do not like the film adaptions of his books. "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Stand By Me" were wonderful, however, and made me think that only King's short stories made the transition to film true to the story. But then came "The Green Mile".
This movie held me spellbound for three hours...I never even noticed the passing of the time. I literally couldn't stand the minute it took to remove the first tape and pop in the second one, so I could get back into the story.
Tom Hanks was brilliant as Paul Edgecomb, and Michael Clarke Duncan defies description as the miraculous John Coffey. The supporting cast were all wonderful, particularly Michael Jeter as Del, James Cromwell as the warden, and Dabbs Greer as the old Paul Edgecomb.
The shock and horror were unbelievable, and the miracles were awe-inspiring. I fully intend to purchase this movie, so I can watch it again and again.
I give it a ten out of ten, and four stars as well! Rent it and see for yourself!

Although this movie was never released in theaters in the U.S., it is available on video. It is by no means a great movie, but Joe Estevez is good, as usual, and the refreshing performances of Air Force personnel SSgt. Jack Bednarcik, MSgt. George Garcia, SSgt. Ray Huckeba, and SSgt. Marvin Mullins as mercenaries make the whole thing worth watching. They not only performed in the movie, but, as I understand it, gave military advice to the star and his director, Gerald Cane, while filming was underway in Shreveport, LA.
