Too much of everything
Let's be realistic.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
I've never left a review before but I just finished watching it and wanted to say that this was much, MUCH better than I expected and deserves a far better rating than 5 just stars. The acting was very good, especially Shawn Lock, I think he's going to be getting much more well known in the future. I thought the movie really captured the feeling of Mexico, both the tourist side and the underside with well written fast-paced story that never leaves you getting bored like most 'action' movies. Even though the film had a smaller budget it doesn't give you that cheesy feeling that you usually get from smaller budget movies.All in all I highly recommend it, especially to watch with the girlfriend that enjoys action movies but can do without the obviously fake gore that most movie makers these days seem to try and use to cover up all the other flaws.
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!
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!
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!!
