The Green Mile isn’t an easy film to watch. It’s a long and heartwrenching film filled with John Coffey (Clarke Duncan) and his supernatural gift while he is brought to death row and shares his power to seemingly heel living things to Edgecomb and the other guards. Convicted of the horrific murder of two young girls, Coffey is sentenced to murder but the guards are captivated by something “unusual” about him. It’s a movie filled with brilliant performances and a great adaptation of King’s work.
