Crossing Over

Actors: Harrison Ford, Ray Liotta, Ashley Judd, Jim Sturgess, Cliff Curtis, Alice Braga, Alice Eve, Justin Chon, Summer Bishil
Rating: 7 out of 10, A movie that aimed at Traffic territory by creating a series of eventually interlinking plot lines generously peppered with some very good actors. I hadn’t heard of this but felt compelled to learn if the Alice Eve Star Trek bikini was CGI or not. That would be a definite “not”. While Ms. Eve’s generously displayed talents were remarkable enough this wide ranging story about illegal immigrants and their different struggles to remain in the USA was kind of “ehh”. Tough to make a young Muslim girl who defends the 9-11 terrorists as a sympathetic character but the rest of the stories were interesting. Harrison Ford plays a decent man trying to do the right thing as an immigration officer despite rules against same. The ending “bridge” to bring all the plot lines together was kind of forced and completely unbelievable but there were a number of nice moments.

MVP: Alice Eve proving that stuffed Star Trek bikini was not CGI
