Product Description:
The widow of murdered civil rights leader medger evers and a district attorney struggle to finally bring the murderer to justice. Studio: Castle Rock Hm Video Release Date: 09/14/2004 Starring: James Woods William H Macy Run time: 130 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Rob Reiner
Amazon.com:
Rob Reiner, who used to be more interested in personal style as a filmmaker, continues to duck behind bland movies about important ideas with this based-on-fact film about the embattled white prosecutor (Alec Baldwin) who brought racist killer Byron De La Beckwith (James Woods) to justice after 30 years of failed attempts. Charged with the murder of civil rights leader Medgar Evers, Beckwith slimes up the film pretty well via Woods's somewhat showy performance, while Baldwin generously assumes the usual clichés surrounding reluctant heroes. Whoopi Goldberg is at her most stately as Evers's widow. The whole self-important production is dogged by the obvious thought that it might have played better (and to far more people than it did in theaters) on television. --Tom Keogh

The biggest problem with `Ghosts of Mississippi' is that it is bland. The story is not technically a bland one, I mean it is a true story of the murder of a civil rights activist and the trial that brought a terrible man to justice, but the way Reiner goes about delivering this story is anything but exciting. The acting is decent, and at times engaging, but for the most part they are merely passable and do nothing for the film in general.
I really wanted to like this movie.

Have always enjoyed this movie. Alex and Whoopie did a great job together telling the story.

We all know and love the funny side of Whoopi. With this stellar performance Whoopi proves that The Colour Purple was not a one off. She brings the character to life with great compassion - hard to do in any story. Great to see if finally out on dvd

This movie very closely represents the truth of this story. The artists did a FABULOUS job and the historical data is relatively accurate so this is a timeless treasure for my collection. To READ an accurate account, purchase Bobby DeLaughter's Book "Never Too Late". It will provide a more detailed account that can't be captured in the movie.

`Ghosts of Mississippi' is the story based on factual events of the final trial of the man who murdered civil rights leader Medgar Evers in 1963. He was tried twice before but both times the case ended in hung juries. It is also a portrait of enduring patience in the fact that his widow, Myrlie Evers, had to wait 30 years for final justice, all the while knowing that her husband`s assassin remained a free man.
I can't honestly think of too many movies where I have seen Alec Baldwin ... Read More
