Frank Darabont succeeds in bringing Stephen King's serial novel The Green Mile to the screen, moving the heart in a similar fashion as he did with The Shawshank Redemption.
It's filled with wonderful performances by actors who fully understand the colorful and fascinating characters they're portraying. The beautiful camerawork, music and art direction help make the 3 hour plus film never feel as long as it really is. It's a dark, grim, yet strangely uplifting, reminder that there's magic in this world and how we'll find it in the most obscure of places.
