"Paul Edgecomb didn't believe in miracles. Until the day he met one."
Paul Edgecomb is a slightly cynical veteran prison guard on Death row in the 1930's. His faith, and sanity, deteriorated by watching men live and die, Edgecomb is about to have a complete turn around in attitude. Enter John Coffey, He's eight feet tall. He has hands the size of waffle irons. He's been accused of the murder of two children... and he's afraid to sleep in a cell without a night-light. And Edgecomb, as well as the other prison guards - Brutus, a sympathetic guard, and Percy, a stuck up, perverse, and violent person, are in for a strange experience that involves intelligent mice, brutal executions, and the revelation about Coffey's innocence and his true identity.
Review: Another dramatic role portrayed excellently by Tom Hanks. He is amazing at reading a scirpt and being able to jump into character, he can create his own accent, walk, and even appearance, just to make the character on screen be what the audience is looking for. Alongside Hanks is an outstanding line of amazing, talented, and gifted actors and actresses. This movie also has the grand opportunity to be scripted by the author who created this world in the first place, Stephen King.
