-Comment: A young boy in bibs (pictured, I don't know his name) and some men at the beginning of the film (short flashback scenes) and Michael Clarke Duncan in jail scenes often in heavy worn bibs throughout the whole film (but also no good scenes, one scene of backside while lying down on his side). Bibs of the father of the boy are also too short. Usually I don't watch those lenghty films with mainly jail scenes. Although famous, novel by Stephen King, Tom Hanks and nominated for 4 Oscars, I don't like this film. Plot is good, but film is very tedious. 95% jail scenes and some supernatural powers. Why such a success? Hanks and King? At least some few scenes of 1930s Louisiana farm settings. Film rated R. Anyway, for short bib scenes (of the kid) only rating 3-4.
