Info

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.

Crossing Over Audience Reviews

Cortechba Overrated
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
duskovic I stumbled across this movie on TV, a few minutes after it started. After awhile I realized that the movie had been made by the people who made Crash, but I was wrong. It had the same kind of pattern and similar dramatics, etc., so I was surprised that whereas Crash was a hit with the critics, Crossing over was a flop. Who know why, probably something to do with packaging and selling.It was on again tonight and I had it on while doing housework. I still found the drama punchy, but the idea of people absolutely craving to be in the US a bit silly. What, do they wanna be mugged or go obese? But apparently, there are opportunities in the US; you can open a burger joint, a pizza place, a coffee shop, etc., that mostly fail (80% in the first year). And yes, as somebody commented, the idea of being deported to Australia (a better country than the US) is amusing, but the girl deportee wanted to become an actress in the US, where good films like this one fail but junk like Transformers hits the stars.
kai ringler this movie deals with a very sensitive subject to me,, illegal aliens and border crossings,, I will try and leave personal feelings out of it long enough to give a review.. Harisson ford plays a Border Patrol agent, his job is to stop the flow of illegal aliens crossing the border every single day.. also in the picture we have Ray Liotta and Ashley Judd, both who were very good, as our story progresses we see many different characters throughout the movie,, some get caught trying to cross over the border, and some make it,, Ray Liotta's character a bit shady he makes a deal with one of the pretty girls he busted, in order for her to get a green card,, she has to keep having sex with him. Harisson Ford meanwhile does something i'm sure a real life border patrol offieer wouldn't do,, he hides a family a starts try ing to help them stay in the country till they can get approved for a visa,, there are many pros and cons to this movie,, I liked the movie because it did present how things are dealth with at the Border Crossing,, and all of the bureaucracy that happens,,
alaiaparhizi 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
zendyude The director and makers of this movie just had one goal, and that is to kiss their own asses for being American, and looking down upon people from other countries. It is quite obvious from the dialogues, and adjectives used for the immigrants and their home nations. They make it sound like all immigrants have AIDS, and come from 'third-world' countries. The reality is a lot deeper than the shallow outlook that arises from the minds of these filmmakers. People get drawn into the illusion of richness, and then they begin a spiritual learning process, and realize that America is actually the 'third-world' country in terms of spiritual and cultural depth.
