Michael (Shawn Lock ) vacations and surfs in Mexico with his irresistible Mexican girlfriend Olivia (María Gabriela de Faría). Olivia is kidnapped and Michael is to smuggle 5 kilos of cocaine across the border or else she dies....inspired by true events.The twist is suspected from the onset and revealed at the midway point. The trip is not easy for Michael, or else they wouldn't make the film. Tom Sizemore has a small role as a bad guy while Luke Goss has an even smaller role as a good guy. The first 18 minutes the film flips between the present and past. Generic formula film.Guide: F-word, brief sex, stripper nudity.
... View MoreCrossing 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
... View MoreIt'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.
... View MoreWarning, 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".
