This movie is insufferable to be honest. "Paul" and his guards are pompous and trite. And "Paul" changes nary a squint. He's just as pompous as a death house captain as he is as a 120+ year old rest home resident, lording it over the poor old woman who doesn't possess immortality as Paul does. How insensitive. Go to .
The inmates in Mile are just as kind and wholesome as the fellows in Shawshank. It's BS. In Redemption their cold, aloof and murderous until Andy needs them to soften and then they're docile, warm and adorable, on cue. In Mile they're on death row, but, everybody is grudgingly contrite and dismissive of their murderous ways. They want to start their lives NOW. I'll just bet they do. Everything is "Percy Wetmore's" fault.
I don't like being manipulated like that, in either film, but, especially in Mile. Even God's angel is petty and selective with his indignation as he dispenses the cornbread in a torturous process.
I could go on, but, these two movies aren't worth it.
