    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This is a long film so give yourself time to watch it, believe me it is worth it. Despite the tissue comment this is is not a chick flick movie, but to me rates alongside the Shawshank Redemption on the emotions it provokes watching the different characters interact with each other in the prison environment. I've watched it several times and it gets me every time.

    Astonishingly gripping film - long but fabulous continuity and acting. In the same class as Sureshank Redemption! Not for the fainted hearted.

  • Fantasy elements in a gripping film

    Rated - 4.5 stars

    We've watched this a number of times and still find it one of our favourite films. Tom Hanks is, as usual, superb. Emotional film that portrays life in death row and the barbarism of execution by electric chair. I knocked off half a star for the fantasy element of the 'miracles' performed by JC, not THAT JC, but John Coffey. A gentle giant acted out superbly by the late, great Michael Clarke Duncan.

  • Possibly the perfect film

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Preacher898 (11 reviews) , 18 Feb 2013
    I have always maintained this is the perfect film and for me, my all time favourite. Tom Hanks & the late Michael Clarke Duncan are sublime as the two lead characters and the way the story is told as a memory is fantastic, captivating and thrilling, allowing for many twists and turns. The way the story unfolds takes the audience on a ride that shows both the best and the worst in humanity in a brutally realistic 1920's era. I have no guilt at all in saying that I teared up twice in the film and have done every subsequent time I have watched it. With no exceptions, all the supporting actors just add to the atmosphere of the film with the musical score supporting the excellent camera work and editing which pieces the story together. I cannot recommend this film highly enough but give fair warn that some scenes may be very upsetting. A timeless classic.
