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

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

    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.

    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

    There are a bunch of other clunky immigrant subplots (the Jews get a comic one, the Turks a scary one), but it isn't until the massacre–cum–civics tutorial in the liquor store that Crossing Over crosses into the mythic realm of camp. What a waste. I still say it's better than "Crash," though.

    The film plays like a garish melodrama that reproduces the most ham-fisted, polemical aspects of "Crash."

    The way the picture dwells almost exclusively on cinematically exploitable elements -- gangbanger crime, prostitution, honor killing, terrorism paranoia -- gives it a sordid patina that even the classy, able thesps can't offset.
