June 12, 2010Harrison Ford the whip cracking hero of old can hardly pick a good film to save himself these days but Crossing Over is decent effort. He plays an immigration officer controlling the border of Mexico but his job is only a small part of the bigger picture of immigrants entering Am... read more

May 25, 2010Harrison Ford plays an immigration officer and movie shows different cases that are handled everyday. Was I touched, not in the slightest. Becoming a legal citizen of any country requires more then just hitting US Soil, and the Bill of Rights and US Constitution touch on immigrat... read more

April 14, 2010Crossing over is much better than Crash. It's less contrived but still convoluted and woefully misjudged with some painful stereotypical prejudices. There is some good here though, the performances are fine and the storyline of the Mexican woman is very touching, it's also the be... read more

April 2, 2010I wasn't expecting another Crash from Crossing Over, and I didn't get another Crash. Crossing Over follows a number of people and their troubles with immigration issues. Harrison Fird headlines, with Ray Liotta and Ashley Judd among the supporting cast.

February 5, 2010The whole thing's about as enjoyable as a holiday to Guantanamo Bay. Less a movie and more a two-hour finger wag.

January 5, 2010A hard-boiled, magnetic, amazing and absorbing drama. An all-star pitch-perfect cast who all deliver powerhouse performances. Harrison Ford has never been better, he gives an incredible, intense, riveting and passionately charged performance just showing that he only gets better ... read more

November 15, 2009This 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

October 30, 2009A 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

You see, it's all a bit too interlocking, a cable series jammed into a couple of hours. Full Review

[Crossing Over] has a paint-by-numbers quality. Full Review

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
The film is so choppy, especially in the final going, it appears that entire reels have been cut. Full Review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
There's more genuine conviction in Ford's face, more complexity, honesty and ability to incite compassion, than everything else in Crossing Over combined. Full Review

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
All we get is a mess of good liberal intentions loosely anchored to a mass of pure Hollywood hokum. Full Review

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Maybe if he [director Wayne Kramer] had kept Crossing Over simpler, he would have made a less simplistic movie. Full Review

It's Crossing Over -- or as we call it at my desk, Crash: Special Victims Unit. Full Review

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
A responsible message movie wrapped in an irresponsible exploitation flick that cries fire in a crowded theater. Full Review

The characters don't relate; they trade expedient expository nuggets, when they're not speechifying. A surfeit of coincidence spoils our empathy. And when a character%u2014any character%u2014says "You... Full Review
