  • Starring: Ashley Judd, Harrison Ford
  • Summary: The US offers hope—but that often comes at a price. Many can earn citizenship legally through a lengthy bureaucratic process, but others find themselves out of luck in a country where virtually anything can be bought. Sex, violence and betrayal become their currency. Some wait in line foror permission to enter the U.S. while others take matters into their own hands. (The Weinstein Company)… Expand

    Crossing Over is so eager to go for the emotional jugular that it never quite forges an enlightening point of view.

    Crossing Over is not a success but make no mistake: There is great drama to be found in these streets.

    The movie expresses honest concern for the plight of so many newcomers to America, legal or illegal. What it lacks is moment-to-moment credibility.

    Somewhat downbeat and a bit too politically correct; but the performances and interlacing storylines hold your attention. Worth a look for the thinking moviegoer.… Expand

    The movie portrays several different stories that seem to all be different. I watched the movie for class and we were only showed a few parts of the entire movie but from what I saw i enjoyed and it made me curious to see in it its entirety to truly understand it all. I would say that the movie is decent but not blow your socks off amazing. If you want a movie that jumps around a bit and makes you think, this will do it.… Expand

    A bit too dramatic but it is a sincere effort. The entire cast is good. It doesn't always convince however. Decent but nothing outstanding.

    A total waste of time. A generic political drama with no soul. NEXT!
