The Green Mile

CriticsCritics: 70
AudienceAudience: 8.7

On death row in a Southern prison, a compassionate head guard encounters a gentle giant whose mysterious ability to heal changes life on the cell block. As the guard and his colleagues grow closer to the condemned inmate, they struggle with the weight of their duties and the possibility that his fate may be unjust.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like character-driven prison dramas with supernatural mystery and strong emotional stakes; Not for you if you prefer shorter films or realistic stories without fantasy elements.
