Advantages: Good, original story Disadvantages: Bit long
Introduction ~~
Based on the Stephen King novel the GreenMile and directed by Frank Darabont the GreenMile is the finest film of 1999 in my opinion. Though despite it still being an excellent film it doesn’t quite match up to the book and I would recommend that you see the book before the film.
It is within the walls of Coal Mountain Louisiana State Penitentiary's death which the prison guards nickname the GreenMile that the majority of the story takes place.
**Please don’t read the bottom bit of the opinion if you haven’t seen it as it may spoil it!
Story ~~
The story is told almost entirely in flashback form with a few modern-day sequences where we see Paul Edgecomb as an elderly man. The telling of the story in flashback form works well as it matches the structure the Stephen King novel used ...
Advantages: Fantastic cast, beautiful direction, great story Disadvantages: Films running time may be off putting for some
The GreenMile
Director: Frank Darabont
Cast: Tom Hanks, David Morse, Michael Clarke Duncan, Doug Hutchison, Barry Pepper
Story: Louisiana 1935. Paul Edgecomb is head warden on the greenmile, Penitentiary’s death row.

Advantages: one of the best all time films Disadvantages: n/a
This as to be one of the best films of all times that I have every seen and it should be a must buy on anyone's list.
The film is set on 'the greenmile', the long walk before being executed, and is about John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan) who is a gentle giant of a prisoner with supernatural powers and he is arrested and sent to the greenmile for the murder of two young girls. It's shows that miracles can happen, even on the death row cell block. Tom Hanks is one of the prison officer and is for me is one of his better performances!
The filmmaker is Frank Darabont, who returns after his 1994 directorial debut in The Shawshank Redemption, to adapt another tale by Stephen King into stirring, crowd-pleasing entertainment, nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
The storyline is weird but wonderful and unlike ...
