Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

transoptical I knew from the first scene that this was going to be worth watching. The cinematography was first class, tasty contrast and saturation, good lens selection. The opening required a bit of deciphering, but once in gear this puppy had me by the yarbles. The story line is somewhat boilerplate even if it is based on actual events, but the realization- art direction and direction were smart and poignant with 2 parallel plot lines. The street scenes, the panorama of Mexican border urban aesthetics, the grittiness, the twists, the humanity; all made for an immersive, reality-based bit of cinema. The Pedro character was worth the price of admission. I'm looking for more movies from this director/writer.

sandyhenderson-82320 Crossing Point has a decent narrative though much of it has a "heard-it-before" feel to it. It does manage to add enough of a spin to make some of it fresh and entertaining. Especially within its saturated genre.Much of "Crossing Point" like cinematography, music, performances, ... at times I actually found to transcend it's overall cheap-action classification. Many elements of this film have potential but the finished product is flawed. With that being said, I'd pick to see this again anytime over some of the redundant super hero junk that the major studios are pumping out these days.All in all, it was enjoyable and didn't find it to be a waste of time watching this. And that means a lot today. So, 7/10

thefilmgal Warning, I went into this with no expectations. But ended up wildly entertained.Some of the performances are better than others, the lead girl is pretty but that's about it, Luke's a small part and if you are a fan don't bather watching for him, Rudy Youngblood (who plays the villain) tries hard but fails to be terrifying, while Paulina Gaitan plays an excellent supporting role and Jacob Vargas is great too, while Shawn Lock wherever he came from gives a solid performance as the lead.Overall found it to be heartfelt and genuine.It's got a few very unexpected twists and turns. Some great cinematography. Very authentic locations... If you like indie movies with a good mix of action, adventure and suspense I highly recommend "Crossing Point".

markushunter Saw it for Luke and was about to loose it when I figured out that he's more like a cameo in this... But the story subject and compelling action scenes got me wanting to keep watching. Crossing Point is Well directed for the most part and looks cool. Not to forget, the girls are hot! Recognized the lead girl from Netflix' "Narcos" who's just great. And Sizemore is cast well and delivers another classic supporting performance. The Rest of the actors are interesting and believable too. It's got some nudity but didn't feel vulgar or cheap. It's got a couple flaws for sure but this is one of the best B-movies I've seen in a long time!!
