Having been to TJ before, I have only the greatest respect for the feel of the lonely lost feeling of being afraid and alone in a foreign country with no right forward of what to do! I was there in 1990 and experienced a medical situation with no idea what was to come! This flick had the perfect full on gritty feel to it, and the scared feeling of what was around the corner at every turn! The lighting was perfect to set the mood and the chaos was spot on! If anyone ever gets lost in TJ then good luck! Those memories are prevalent as I watched this! Not a bad flick! I would recommend this for sure! The real feel is there and the real fear is there! Imagine if it was you!
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.
Felt like I had to watch cause a friend is in it and wanted to support. Cheesy poster got me worried. Well, believe it or not this film is actually quite cool.It starts out somewhat generic but then takes off. And becomes a hell of a ride. Good acting. Fast moving story telling. Great sound and music. Love the dirty look of the Mexico stuff. The good cop is awesome, great to see him in his element, I remember him from one of my alltime favorites... good old "Traffic".Not the masterpiece I'd see again but it's good entertainment and worth the one-time rental if you ask me. And since I'm proud of my friend who's in it I'm giving it the "excellent-rating" bump here on IMDb.
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".
