  • Starring: Anthony Mackie, Wayne Brady, Wesley Jonathan
  • Summary: Crossover is a gripping urban drama set against the thrilling world of streetball. The story follows two young hopefuls, Tech (Mackie) and Cruise (Jonathan), who must bring every move they have to the floor to unseat the reigning champions from the throne they have held for far too long. (Sony)

  1. While director-screenwriter Preston A. Whitmore II's film is to be admired for its proponing the values of a higher education over the dream of a career in the NBA, its dialogue, characterizations and situations rarely transcend the level of cliche.

    Much as they would like it to, basketball can't save the youthful inner-city players here. Nor does the ultra-fast-paced street version of the sport save this movie from predictability and tedium.
  3. So badly conceived and executed, its good intentions don't help.
  4. 38
    Astonishingly inept drama.

    A retarded attempt to match up to films like Coach Carter. It is just utterly stupid and annoying. Its like watching Simon Cowell dance for 2 hours.
