Crossing Over**    

(US 2008)

Sometimes trite and sentimental but often compelling and well acted racial melodrama, generally more believably convincing than the similarly themed and Oscar-winning Crash.

Starring: Harrison Ford, Cliff Curtis, Ashley Judd, Ray Liotta, Jim Sturgess, Alice Eve, Alica Braga, Summer Bishil, Justin Chon.
