Ghosts of Mississippi is a well executed courtroom drama, but that focus leads to the sidelining of characters like Whoopi Goldberg's in favor of a myopic focus on Alec Baldwin's prosecutor. As an enjoyer of the courtroom drama genre, I enjoyed watching this movie, it was fun, properly dramatic, but a bit predictable at times. I would've liked to see at least a few more scenes of Medgar Evers, maybe in a flashback, or some scenes of the Evers family without Alec Baldwin there. The film does a good job of imparting the feel of race relations in the south at the time, and it feels credible and realistic, but doesn't elevate the topic to say something beyond the obvious.
