Customer Reviews

King and Hanks together.

What more can you ask for? Lots more, and this movie has it. As a rule, I avoid prison movies, but this movie transcends the prison genre. They depict the prison as a working environment where the guards calmly control the prisoners through quiet resolve instead of cattle prods. It maintains King's "more than life" world without the "you'll-be-eaten" monsters. Michael Clarke Duncan made a great John 'Johnny' Coffey, and some credit needs to go to the mouse, which was a much better actor than the one in "Mouse Hunt". Even though we know that the guards do not wear uniforms. They were an added plus in the movie; you knew when the hat was on that they meant business. With all the great acting and actors, sometimes, a good one is overlooked. Do not miss Gary Sinise as Burt Hammersmith, the defender.
