This drama, based on a real-life story, presents a look at inner-city life as seen by Father John McNamee (David Morse), a white Roman Catholic priest who maintains a congregation in northern Philadelphia. The area has become an impoverished and predominantly African-American neighborhood that faces considerable challenges, and Father McNamee feels the weight of his responsibility as he attempts to care for his parishioners and aid his struggling community.

it was enjoying but very slow i think (or perhaps boring). It wasn't that bad.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Too self-indulgent to enjoy, although it means well the drab Philly existence for all the characters drags for the audience, and there is no real plot for Morse's very much 'loser' priest.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
