Roger Ebert

"By taking the extra time, Darabont has made King's 'The Green Mile' into a story which develops and unfolds, which has detail and space."

The Hollywood Reporter

Despite fine performances by Tom Hanks and an excellent ensemble cast, The Green Mile looks like a tough sell for the holidays.

BBC

Most of the acting is faultless - particularly from Morse as Hanks's outsized sidekick Brutal - while there are just enough twists and turns to make you almost forget how long it takes to navigate them.

Common Sense Media

In the film's most graphic scene, a man is brutally killed by a botched electric chair execution: He screams in excruciating pain as his skin visibly and audibly sizzles.

The story is crafted by Steven King and it's application to the silver screen is perhaps one of the finest adaptation ever done.
