Reviewers say 'The Green Mile' is acclaimed for its compelling narrative, standout performances by Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan, and deep emotional resonance. It explores themes of justice, compassion, and the supernatural, though some find its pacing, length, and genre blend problematic. This four-time Oscar® nominee film portrays the remarkable story of a prison guard (Tom Hanks) who develops an unusual relationship with an inmate on death row (Michael Clarke Duncan) who happens to have a very magical gift. The Green Mile is a 1999 American fantasy crime drama film written, directed and co-produced by Frank Darabont and based on the 1996 novel by Stephen King. It stars Tom Hanks as a death row prison guard during the Great Depression who witnesses supernatural events following the arrival of an enigmatic convict (Michael Clarke Duncan) at his facility. David Morse, Bonnie Hunt, Sam Rockwell, and James Cromwell appear in supporting roles. The Green Mile is a truly remarkable movie. Although the story captivates you right away, it's the heartbreaking and powerful conclusion that really sticks with you. You can't help but cry. The message of humanity and compassion is profound, and the performances are strong. Best movie I have seen to date.
