Well done

Want sure what to expect from this movie but it turned out to be VERY good. The acting was good and the cinematography had some grit to it. The timeline played out smoothly with a few decent twists and turns. A couple parts were a little predictable, but only a little. A good tale about a father's redemption and his daughter's path out from a dark life. With a watch!

Powerful and poinient study of hate and racism with a redemptive role for Ed Norton who put himself through rigorous physical training to play the role of violent neo-nazi Derek Vinyard.
Norton plays the role with quite a frightening realism and tone and his journey to redemption is a very rough readjustment.
His brother who idolises him cannot quite understand the transition..still a very relevant movie today as it was in 1998.

This book was disturbing and amazing, like a terrible train wreck you can't look away from! The protagonists are common enough that they seem harmless and boring but at the same time, unbelievably twisted and evil in their lack of morality and compassion. I felt sorry for and repulsed by the narrator almost concurrently while rooting for her redemption and condemnation. It is truly a sensational novel that keeps you interested, engaged and terrified.

Thoughtful, intelligent movie for older teens and adults. (2 more)

Tom Hank's, as usual, is superb.

Well crafted and moving story.

Whilst it's a good movie in it's own right, it will always play second fiddle to the more acclaimed Shawshank Redemption, by the same director. (0 more)

based on King's 1996 serialized novel set in a prison. In 1935, inmates at the Cold Mountain Correctional Facility call Death Row "The Green Mile" because of the dark green linoleum that tiles the floor.

Cast, original story and genuinely funny and moving. Excellent acting. (0 more)

Class comedy drama

What could be a boring story regarding a womans life after her husbands death gets spun on its head. Christina Applegate and the rest of the cast put their acting capabilities to the full with this biting story about grieving, loss and redemption.
The twists come thick and fast without being contrived. Give it ago it feels fresh for such a well treaded subject.
