Rating: 2.5/4 -- A Sunday school parable about the difference between good versus evil. Can I get an Amen? Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- It's a familiar formula: Greedy suits touting high-rise schematics and targeting blue-collar citizens end up locking horns with a local firebrand. Guess who wins? Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- So completely lacking in his eye for revealing detail and his ear for colloquial speech that it feels less like a movie than an incomplete first draft of a well-meaning if unsophisticated essay.

Subtleties are thin on the ground, but the elements of social injustice, racial tension and character conflicts make the film engaging enough Full Review
Urban Cinefile
Mar 21, 2009
The potentially thought-provoking concept of historical reconciliation is ill served by a half-baked script that reduces every cliched plot point to jaw-dropping levels of preachiness. Full Review

Rating: 61/100 -- It's hard to say harsh things about a movie as earnest and well intentioned as Gospel Hill. But we've got to do what we've got to do, now, don't we?

Product Description:

Beneath the tranquil surface of the Southern town of Julia stirs the ghosts of a tragic, prejudiced past. Decades after the unsolved assassination of a prominent civil rights leader, his son John (Danny Glover) is slowly exposed to the truth that has always eluded him. This tense murder-mystery from director and co-star Giancarlo Esposito (THE KEEPER) features grand performances from Glover, Angela Bassett, Adam Baldwin, and Julia Stiles.

Description by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment:

Angela Bassett and Danny Glover lead a celebrated cast including Julia Stiles, Adam Baldwin and Giancarlo Esposito in this riveting tale about a decades-old murder mystery and a town struggling to overcome the ghosts of its tormented past. In the town of Julia, prejudice is still an unspoken part of life thirty years after the assassination of a beloved civil rights leader. And his son, John (Glover), has learned to live with the memory of the unsolved murder and the town's thin veneer of peace. As dissension threatens to tear the community apart, an explosive revelation forces John to act... and to choose between forgiveness and renewed hatred.
