Crossing Over

CROSSING OVER (2008) - Oct. 4, 2009
Sort of like Crash but for immigration policy instead of racism, this was similarly heavy-handed but quite well made and entertaining throughout. Featuring a bevy of above average performances from people like Harrison Ford and Ray Liotta (though special mention must go to Cliff Curtis), I'm really not sure why the critical reception was so overwhelmingly negative -- there's definitely a lot to like here, from Wayne Kramer's sure-handed direction to the uniformly superb performances. ***
