I have to say i find myself disagreeing with more and more empire reviews these days. This id definetly better than 2 stars i mean come on....some of the acting from Ford and Liotta at times is brilliant. And how could you call Judd's Lawyer Smug??? That comment alone makes me think the reviewer has'nt even watched the film. If transformers 2 can get 4 stars than crossing over can get 4 stars because at least i did'nt fall asleep during the latter

Alice Eve's breasts are worth at least 2 stars.

Each.

Check out the production history of this film and you'll soon see that it is not Wayne Kramer's intended version. Harvey Weinstein butchered it in editing so i think we need to wait until a Director's Cut is released. Having said that, it's better than 2 stars. Had Ford been allowed to promote the movie and given Empire an exclusive interview, it would have got 4 stars.

Have to totally disagree with empire here. Great film, the scene in the shop near the end with cliff curtis is pure genius. I bet if Michael Mann had directed it on his iphone empire wouldve given it 5 stars. End.

Might have been muddled, heavy-handed, clich�d and a fair few similarly denigrating adjectives, but it got by on (mostly) decent acting and interesting plotlines. I thought I'd hate it, but was pleasantly surprised.

At first, Crossing Over was going to be a another Crash wannabe and I would instanly bored by the dozen plot lines with lots of characters appearing on screen. Instead, it was enjoyable and more gripping than Crash. Yes, it did have a slow start to show everyone but once it got going it didn't stop. There were plenty of heart stopping moments, great pefomances from a well known and upcoming cast and shock horror, a ending that made sense! It dosen't deserve two, perhaps three and a half from me.
