it was good and little bit sad..
This would have been a dynamite cast 15 years ago. Might get around to see it on DVD
This is the most interesting story of the issue of immigration in Los Angeles, that great American melting pot. Classy and intelligent, this mostly avoids the next conveniences and didacticism of Crash. The performances are all good, too, from a stoic Harrison Ford down to...( 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..
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)
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)
Download and watch the new movie Crossing Over http://blog-movie.com/Crossing-Over.html
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)
Harrison Ford Has Been A Badass Since He Played Han Solo, And This Movie Is No Different. Wayne Kramer Delivers Another Fast Paced Movie That Makes You Think About All Sides Of The Story. Truly, The American Dream Indeed.
Trying desperately to be the next Crash. Has all the problems of multi-story ensemble dramas, with underdeveloped storylines that tie themselves up way too neatly and too quickly. The acting however, is top notch here, making the end result a little more satisfying, and certainly...( read more)
Un drama de historias entremescladas al estilo Crash pero con el tema de los migrantes que se quieren nacionalizar en los estados unidos las historias que se presentan son dignas de verse interpretarse y analizarse y es que hay mucho de donde tomar para abrir muchas discuciones h...( read more)
film yang berkonsep menggambarkan kisah para imigran ilegal di amerika. Konsep film yang membawakan lebih dari satu tokoh utama diterapkan dengan tepat disini, dan hal-hal yang tidak terduga banyak bermunculan di tiap kisah-kisah yang dibawakan. Ending yang bervariasi makin mengu...( read more)
A group of families living in LA struggle to get their American citizenship. It was very deep. Shows what immigrants have to go through.
very good movie! it makes u think about people and how they threat to each other. the movie is about racists and how other people try to solve the problems
Excellent movie, well put together, Harrison Ford once again is superb in his acting.
This movie I didn't even make it through. Why Harrison Ford starred in this is crazy. It was a slow moving story and a boring one at that. No real substance and who cares? A bad script filled with great actors.
I well constructed epic but it was a little too much for my taste. Too many mirror stories in the same movie. Or maybe it was just the fact that i watched it at 4 o'clock in the morning. Do not repeat this mistake!
Good plot but the story in itself was weak and there was a lot of graphic imagery and dialogue that was really unecessary. I'm a big Harrison Ford fan and this was a weaker movie for him.
Very similar to Babel and Crash which both was better. But maybe I can't understand the theme "The American dream", since I'm only Swedish living in Greece.....
Another movie I feel that has been overlooked, I thought it was good had a great cast and a good story to tell.
This is a real disappointment, not only as an urban crime thriller, but also because helmer Wayne Kramer fails to use the multi-strand narrative (which worked so brilliantly in Crash and Babel) to good effect, and to address the subject matter in enough depth. Not even Harrison F...( read more)
A huge eye opener. The plot line in Crossing Over reminds me of how the story in Crash and Babel are developed, which is a nice alternative to the typical one story development.
Overall, the movie dragged a bit at times, but opens your mind to the struggles people face on a dai...( read more)
Every day thousands of people illegally cross our borders... only one thing stands in their way. America."
Crossing Over is a multi-character canvas about immigrants of different nationalities struggling to achieve legal status in Los Angeles...
REVIEW
Crossing Over...( read more)
Dealing with the many facets, myths and glories of being a U.S. citizen. Very solid performances from an impressive semi-ensemble cast. Plus, the Australian babe is hot ;)
A surprisingly good film that presents a look at the "other side"of the immigration issue. Ray Liotta is "sleazy" good and Harrison Ford looks a bit too old to still be working the cases.
Interesting story,tho a little dull at times..Harrison needs to choose his roles more wisely.
