It's not that this is a *bad* film, exactly. It's amusing, but ridiculous, and at this point I was beginning to tune out. In the film's favor, I must say the performances are uniformly excellent. ... Full Review

Extraordinarily powerful and overwhelmingly moving, The Green Mile tells the black and white story of humanity.

But at home, you can pause the action without losing the narrative flow; after all, the book was originally published in six monthly installments.
