Customer Reviews

A film you will never forget.
First let me say that my title of this movie is very true. It's not just something I thought would look good as a title. Once you see this movie you will remember it to some degree for the rest of your life. If you watch it alone you will tell your friends and family about it. You will probably let them borrow it or watch it with them just so you can see it again. The movie runs for 3 hours but I did not get tired once. I lost myself in the movie. When I was watching it everything around me disappeared.

The movie has a great cast. Some of the main people are Tome Hanks who plays Paul Edgecomb the head of part of a prison called the green mile (more on that later.) You may remember Hanks from movies like Big 1988 and Philadelphia 1993. David Morse who plays Brutus Howell. You have seen him in movies like The Getaway 1994 and 16 blocks 2006. Michael Clark Duncan who plays John Coffey. He has bee in the films The whole nine yards 2000 and Sin City 2005. These are just some of the great actors in this movie They are all giving some of the greatest performances I have ever seen.

Now for the movie. I do not want to give away the big parts of the film, so I will try to tell you about it while at the same tie keeping the main stuff a mystery. The movie is about a man that is accused of committing a horrible crime. He is sentenced to death and sent to the green mile. The green mile is what the men who work in this part of the prison call it. It is death row. The man accused may be more than a man. You will have to watch to see what I mean. During the end something happens that will make you so mad that he is being put to death. You will think about it for a while. He will hurt 2 men in the prison. One who works there and one who has become a prisoner. You will find out why these men had happen to them what they did. Also, you will ask yourself why about something. The question will be about something very important in the movie. But you will come to find out at the very end that sometimes even good men, whom do things that may be considered good. Must pay for that which they did. Even if not by being in pain or suffering. This movie will probably make you sad because you will take something the prisoner says to hank's character at the end and really think about how true it is in life.

What the basic meaning of all this is, this movie will make so many people happy. As I said earlier you will more than likely never forget it. Buying it is a great idea because you will want to see it again. Whether with a friend, family member or alone. You may even want to watch it twice in a row to make sure you didn't miss anything important. I am sure that this film is in the top 100 films ever made list. After you watch it you can decide on your own if you think it should be or not. Enjoy!

Great Movie
I am not a Stephen King fan so I was surprised that this movie was written by him. However, this is a GREAT movie. The story line and actors are top notch.

A truly great story
Movie is just as good as the book (or books if you read it when it first came out),
