| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA decent biopic on the controversial segregationist governor of Alabama. |
| 7M PicturesKevin Carrthe people behind George Wallace put their political views aside and actually attempted to examine the man that was George Wallace. |
| User ReviewDoug HExcellent. I was impressed how this movie did not become more popular. Gary Sinese was excellent, as was Mare Winningham as the gentile southern wife. Angelina Jolie showed promise of what was to come in her career. There is superb acting in this well written and directed intensely interesting biography of George Wallace, governor of Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement. It's a 3 hour movie that picks up pace as it continues, so when it ends you actually feel like you want more. Extraordinary! |
| User ReviewBrent MGary Sinise stars as Gov. George Wallace, who tried to block desegregation in Alabama. It follows him through his political career and shows both his good and bad points. It shows how sometimes it takes a tragedy to change what you really believe. |

| User ReviewJames RFor a miniseries about a very complex and controversial person, it's quite compelling. At times hard to get through, but it's a drama with a lot of story to tell, and still a short amount of time to do it in. |
| User Reviewjay nI undoubtedbly enjoyed this made for tv spectacle until the verey last second. "Sinise" conquers all acting and "Jolie" rejuvaneted all of the rest. |
