Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Wizard-8 Although the basic plot of "Crossing Point" - an innocent person forced into committing a crime after his loved one is kidnapped - is nothing original, it is still a good premise that under the right hands could have been a winner. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as well as it should this time around. The movie does have some definite strengths, I admit. It doesn't make the worst sin a movie can make by being boring. Also, it's shot in a loose and gritty manner that really makes you feel the seedy and impoverished side of Mexico. However, the direction is at times confusing, particularly in the first third of the movie. There are scenes that seem to be missing, action sequences that are hard to follow, and often at times the very low budget of the entire enterprise is painfully evident. Also, the screenplay has characters that are not very well developed, so much so that it's hard at times to sympathize or hate them. There is a twist midway through the plot, but it's a twist that you'll probably be able to guess long before it happens. I realize I may be portraying this movie as much worse than it is, so let me emphasize that this is not the worst telling of this formula I have seen. But at the same time, you could do much better.
lancesteinberg It's decent, but has a hard time making up it's mind...There's some intense ACTION but not all that much. It's light and fluffy at times and the suddenly way DARK. Slightly ROMANTIC now and then. Some folks may be into this all-over-the-place roller-coaster but I mostly came for heavy action - so it didn't really satisfy me. With that being said - for the most part it's well shot and directed. the performances of the this B-cast are quite good. Even smaller parts come off believable. Which it would've been presented more accurate. They're really trying to sell this as an action packed film and it's not. All by all 7/10.
rulesofthegame-35150 I thought this movie was well crafted for an indie pic. I think they got quite a few good shots and multi-angle shots. Many more angles than you normally see in indie films. Plus they got a lot of good drone shots. I think the story line was pretty cool. It had some unexpected twist and turns that I thought where creative and outside the box. Rudy Youngblood was SIC. Great actor. I thought the acting was pretty solid from the leads down to the extras. Shawn Lock did a good job for her first film. Burton Perez is a good actor too, I thought his dialogue with Shawn Lock regarding carrying dope in Mexico was well crafted, well shot and poignant . The score was also pretty good for an indie film. All in all, at the end of the day, a good body of work and I think their next film will be quite good!
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!!
