A Crash-type intertwining of different stories all concerning immigration somehow. Harrison Ford does so few movies these days that anything with him in it is automatically a perk-up to watch it, So, I was interested and it's not a bad movie. It could've been better, though. Clif...( read more)
A hard-boiled, magnetic, amasing and absorbing drama. An all-star pitch-perfect cast who all deliver powerhouse performances. Harrison Ford has never been better, he gives an incrediable, intense, riveting and passionately charged performance just showing that he only gets better...( read more)
Interesting story,tho a little dull at times..Harrison needs to choose his roles more wisely.
This movie showed the lengths that some people will go to obtain a green card. I think it was Hollywood's way of making us sympathize with families torn apart when one (illegal) member gets deported from the US. And yes..... it did tug at my heart strings a little but I am like ...( read more)
Wow, this is a movie about illiegal and legal aliens entering the US and the struggles they go through trying to stay here. First of all the cast was wonderful cast. Incredible actors played portait these every day people so convincing it was easy to get lost in the story. I like...( read more)
It is interesting that people are comparing this film to Crash, so I will do the same Crash was dull, boring and spent to much effort trying to combine the characters stories. This film spends less time combining the characters stories and focuses on a proper issue (illegal immig...( read more)
Simply amazing !! I liked the cycle of the story between the characters .. with the real problems between culture..
i'm not sure what exactly do i feel about this movie, i felt it was trying to be like Crash in interconnecting the stories of the characters. but i like how it showed us what people are willing to do just to be able to stay in the states hoping for a better life, and i found the ...( read more)

Crossing Over seems to strain, with too many characters, too many story strands and too much of an effort to cover the bases. full review
Harrison Ford barely registers in a misconceived immigration drama. full review
Ignore the other critics. This is an engrossing, thoroughly entertaining movie with great performances from a first-rate ensemble cast. full review
An interesting failure, a movie that at least strives to be about something, entangling itself with the question of what it means to be an American -- or, more specifically, what it means to deserve t... full review
Trust Kramer, though, to spring surprises with the help of a risk-taking cast. full review
Crossing Over has hurtled into Crash territory, and the smash-up is not a happy collision. full review
A multi-strand saga whose contrived, inane narrative threads have been stitched together with Frankenstein ungainliness. full review
This focus on uneasy spiritual and political transformation runs into thematic banality. Although more than a set of patchwork, Crash-like homilies, Crossing Over is almost as didactic. full review
Crossing Over crosses into the mythic realm of camp. What a waste. I still say it's better than Crash, though. full review
A drama that examines immigration and those people who will do whatever it takes to cross the border into the United States.
Immigrants from around the world enter Los Angeles every day, with hopeful visions of a better life, but little notion of what that life may cost. Their desperate scenarios test the humanity of immigration enforcement officers. In "Crossing Over", writer-director Wayne Kramer explores the allure of the American dream, and the reality that immigrants find – and create -- in 21st century L.A.
