The film is one of Tom Hanks better performances and his portrayal of Paul the corrections officer is a heart warming and compelling performance of one of King's better works. Initially i was sceptical of the choice of Michael Clarke Duncan as John Coffey, but as you will see he suits his role of a gentle giant to a tee. King is very ...  Read the complete review

I'm a big fan of Tom Hanks after seeing Forrest Gump so I enjoyed this film as well. The film is about Paul Edgecomb (Hanks) who is a prison officer on death row. A large black man, John Coffey (Michael Clark Duncan) is sent in and put on death row accused of the murder of two young girls. It's odd though because he's very ...  Read the complete review

Based on a Steven King novel, and starring Tom Hanks, 'The Green Mile' comes across like a supernatural version of 'The Shawshank Redeption' being told in flashback and utillising the same melancholy, reflective yet hopeful directorial and musical score styles, but this time with a considerably more fantastical edge. The story ...  Read the complete review
