This wannabe-inspirational docu shares its hero's devotion to preaching the gospel. But the film's emotional manipulations come at the expense of a more complex, illuminating look at the man himself.

Inspired by Jesus Christ’s own walk up the hill to Calvary,... Though many religious journeys only occur inside the soul, the man at the center of THE CROSS traveled across the world for his faith. Inspired by Jesus Christ’s own walk up the hill to Calvary, Arthur Blessitt began a 40-year trip around the world with a 12-foot wooden cross. Blessitt started his trek near his home in California, then brought his message across the United States to the Atlantic coast. Next on Blessitt’s itinerary was Northern Ireland, followed by the rest of the countries in the world, including those marked by communism and war. THE CROSS captures Blessitt’s faith-filled, four-decade expedition, culminating in 2008 after he visited every island group in the world. [More]

Reviews for The Cross
The gee-whiz rhetoric and breathless amateurism of The Cross is not likely to inspire.
