Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Strong and Moving!
Best movie ever!
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Much like Crash Crossing over is a collected of different characters and their stories about trying to get to America and the hassles of dealing with the officers and papers. It is strange to watch a film on a sensitive subject and not be moved but that was my final reaction, because it felt as though the director was pulling at the heartstrings in a so obvious way. Filled with name faces like Ray Liotta and Harrison Ford alongside newcomers acting is pretty convincing. This is a film that can be appreciated by a people who fall under a certain political spectrum, ones opposite to this ideology would be bored, angered even perhaps.
This was a decent movie in the vein of Crash. It was all about the happenings in immigration offices, and followed several story lines, such as a girl who was the daughter of Bangladesh immigrants who presented a report in class on how you should look at the 9/11 terrorists as "human" and their motivations, and she wound up in trouble with the FBI;a social worker working with kids of prisoners;a crooked immigration worker who agrees to have sex with an Australian actress for two months so she can get her green card;an officer investigating crimes in Mexico;and a guy studying to be a rabbi.Overall, this wasn't too bad. It might have worked a little better if all the story lines had "collided" at the end. They were all effective though. It shows you can have a good movie with several concurrent story lines. I liked it. It had good performances, especially by Harrison Ford & Ray Liotta (in typical roles), and a great cast.** 1/2 out of ****
This movie was pure bull, really unrealistic and artificially twisted. why would you make a movie about stupid uninteresting idiots just walking around with sad music trying to be sad for no reason Harrison ford go to heaven you are horrible not only your acting i know you like Lil girls with brown hair didn't give a damn about fat or midget immigrants selfish and horny old man, go take some Viagra and jerk off shout out to the Australian girl, good job props to your boobs and body in general hail to the fake Jews shout out to all the peoples that finished this movie i know it was real hard don't go smoke crack now and don't hang yourself either its just a movie in 10 - 15 years you will have forgotten it and everything will be okay
Crossing over is a multi-strand drama telling a mixture of stories involving the US Immigration Service. All the stories are interesting, with some being more powerful than others.The film is strongly cast - Harrison Ford, Ashley Judd, Ray Liotta head things up - and well performed, with the acting accolades going to some of the performers lower down the cast list: Summer Bishil as teenager Taslima is a knockout, and Alice Eve as Aussie Claire is also very good.There are good points made, and made well, and the film benefits from the fact that many of the characters are morally ambiguous. There are no glib, easy answers.This is film is entertaining, interesting, occasionally very heavy duty, and worthwhile.
