It never fully convinces in terms of either period or plot.

Even though the plot is propelled by lust and vengeance, there's no heat in the movie.

There's plenty of snappy plotting and double-crossing around it, with bitter twists and well-delivered, wonderfully literate, hard-nosed dialogue.

It takes place in an artificial world constructed largely from the mythology of other movies, and, though it's both seamless and stylish, some find it a little too self-conscious for its own good.

An amazingly entertaining film, loaded with zesty dialogue, gorgeously staged sequences and a bevy of wild characters.

As for that story, it's good enough, but honestly I fail to see what everyone's all worked up about.

Perhaps the best the Coens have to offer -- stylish, funny, harrowing and brilliantly shot.

Pays homage to the crime novels of Dashiell Hammett.

Crossing is the kind of movie that benefits from a second sitting, to get a complete grip on the plot.
