Crossing Over (2009)

Wayne Kramer's Crossing Over introduces a handful of different characters living in Los Angeles, and each of them more or less defined by their immigration status rather than anything human. Harrison Ford is a weary, soft-hearted ICE agent involved in the case of a Mexican woman (Alice Braga); Ashley Judd is an immigration attorney working on finding a foster home for a young Nigerian girl; Ray Liotta is a sleazy INS official who sleeping with a gorgeous Australian girl (Alice Eve) so she can legally work as an actress; Jim Sturgess is a singer and an atheist who uses his Jewish heritage to pass as a religious scholar; Summer Bishil is Bangladeshi teenager who gives a high school paper defending the motives of the 9/11 terrorists and attracts attention to her family; Cliff Curtis is Ford's partner, and a member of a strict Iranian family with skeletons in its closet. And Justin Chon is a Korean teenager who thinks that gang life is the best way to go.

DVD Details: The Weinstein Company limped this dud out on DVD with no extras: only optional English and Spanish subtitles. You can tell it's bad because of the blurb on the front, from idiot TV "critic" Ben Mankiewicz: "An exceptional film!" The word "exceptional" suggests that it's an exception, that there's no other film like it. Except for Crash, I guess. The other blurb on the back cover comes from the equally idiotic Jeffrey Lyons. The Blu-Ray followed in 2010.
