Movie Reviews of The Crossing Guard
Movie Review: A good surprise!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film, not very talked by the midia, ( at least in my country )is a very good surprise!I bought it because Jack Nicholson is synonymous of quality.
He and Angelica Houston are a couple that have lost their oldest daughter 5 years ago. When the film starts the man responsible for her death ( David Morse ) is leaving jail and the girl's father ( Nicholson ) intend to kill him. As the film goes on it gets clear that this father is disturbed and muddled. His life is caotic and has no meaning. Than, an unexpected process occurs as we see his hate and the killer's
regret and sensibility and the way they interact with it.
Sean Penn once more has shown his sensibility without silliness.
Movie Review: Better Than Citizen Kane - in our opinion! (Sorry Roger E.)
Summary: 5 Stars
The best $10 ever spent on a movie. We highly recommend it. Character-driven certainly is the best description. The three main characters are portrayed with true depth of emotion, giving the viewer real insight into how the tragic DUI-death of the young girl affected each one. The story itself isn't especially unique; how the story is told is most certainly unique. The ending surprised and moved us. Having previously watched The Pledge (another Sean Penn/Jack Nicholson collaboration), which is a definite downer, we put off watching The Crossing Guard for a couple of weeks. We're sorry we waited. We are sure to watch this movie again, even though the end won't be a surprise.Movie Review: Magnificent and touching
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't believe that someone turned this movie off after 40 minutes!! The end of the movie congeals the message and allows you to really feel a deep emotional experience. I was touched to tears and was very impressed with the amount of heart that Sean Penn was able to convey with this story. We can all relate on some level, because it is about touching the depth of human experience. I highly applaud the story line, and the magnificent acting of these amazingly talented actors and actresses. I would recommend this movie to anyone, and can't believe I hadn't heard about it before finding it in the video store.Movie Review: Sean Penn and Nicholson make a great team
Summary: 5 Stars
Penn is amazing what what he put to script here
Nicholson or Jack Nicholson is brilliant as his role
the movie touches you , scares you, shocks you, keeps you guessing a little about what will happen at the end. but overall a truly moving movie. have it on dvd and it never let me down. it never has and never will. the crossing guard is truly a gem like Chinatown with Nicholson in it. I could watch this movie again and again and again. Nicholson really shines in this role for a movie. and the cast is innovative and picked out quite well :)
Movie Review: You need a good brain to appreciate this incredible movie
Summary: 5 Stars
... It is NOT a revenge movie. It's a movie about self pity and realization. Also, it's about people's narrow-mindedness in not realizing the suffering of others. This is a fantastic movie for those of you that can appreciate a deep intricate movie full of emotion. It's not fast paced but delves deep into the characters and human nature. The ending was fantastic and extremely sad. Give this movie a try if you're into movies that require more of an intellect and feeling for human nature.
