Product Description

Academy Award(R)-winner Jack Nicholson (1997 Best Actor, AS GOOD AS IT GETS) drives this suspenseful, critically acclaimed action thriller about one man's unquenchable thirst for revenge! For six agonizing years, Freddy Gale (Nicholson) has waited for John Booth (David Morse, THE NEGOTIATOR), the man jailed for a crime that destroyed Freddy's life. Now, Booth is out of prison and Freddy's giving him three days before he returns ... to even the score! Directed by Sean Penn and starring Academy Award(R)-winner Anjelica Huston (1985 Best Supporting Actress, PRIZZI'S HONOR) and sexy Robin Wright (MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE), THE CROSSING GUARD is an intense, emotionally charged thriller that delivers!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great film that evokes powerful emotion with incredible acting
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2005

This film shows what a great script and amazing actors can pull off. Penn does an amazing job pulling everything together to project a general feeling of despair. Few films send such a powerful emotion.

David Morse, who I believe makes every movie his is in (Green Mile, Contact, Hearts in Atlantis) much better, puts in an amazing performance as someone whose guilt is unshakable.

Jack of course is a living legend, but this is a performance that really transcends the typical greatness we have come to expect. He really makes you feel a piece of the powerful grief he lives with, and somehow makes you laugh.

Angelica Houston is just about the only actress I have seen steal a scene from someone like Nicholson with such subtlety. One of my favorite scenes is Nicholson and Houston in the dinner. At the conclusion, you can almost feel the door slam on their relationship.

And Robin Wright Penn gives the best performance of her career. Obviously the man and wife relationship helped Penn know how to best play her strengths. The scene when Morse confesses his worst secrets to Wright is amazing. She has few lines, but really shows volumes in her reaction.

I recently watched The Woodsman and felt that Sedgwick also did an amazing job in the same type of scene, but yet went in a completely different direction.

This film is often compared to The Pledge, and rightfully so. In my opinion though, The Crossing Guard is by far a better film. The fact that Penn had to wait until Mystic River to get his Oscar credit is a shame. This movie was overlooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tragic and Beautiful... Like Life
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2005

I've read all of Bukowski's work, but I'm not sure there's a connection here. Sean Penn dedicated this film to Henry (Charles) Bukowski because the two were friends and Bukowski died before this film was released. Anyway, this IS NOT a Bukowski-esque work in any way.

However, this film is a very believable and touching film about how rage and the desire for revenge can completely consume a person. It's also about the power and beauty of forgiving those who have wronged you.

I don't think the film contains a lot of cliches, in fact, I think there are many moments of fresh, believable dialogue. Especially the scenes between Nicholson and Houston. Amazing!

This film shares many of the same themes as 21 Grams, which is also good, but not as good as The Crossing Guard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Jack Nicholson Movie
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2011

One of Nicholson's best movies yet to date I think. It can truly touch you personally like many of his movies can. Once Jack Nicholson's legacy is complete, this movie should be around the top of his career, but since so many of his movies are great, it's hard to say exactly how far to top it will be. A must for all Nicholson fans.

1.0 out of 5 stars How low can you sink in the movie industry
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2004

This movie is a pure example of something that presumably only was made because someone wanted to earn some bucks. An extremely silly story, the actors spend most of their time unauthentically crying, sobbing, and sniffing. A useless plot. I wonder why such a professional team of actors submits to such a stupid project. On a scale of 1 to 5 the movie deserves a 0.

If you like to see Jack running back and forth in a city smoking a cancer stick it may be for you. Probably Jacks worst . Three is too generous. Thanks

Superb thriller movie and Jack Nicholson at his best; the movie has all the right elements to captivate and keep you immersed in the plot. Jack's performance described as: 'Shattering Performance By Jack Nicholson!' It is an amazing movie deserving of high credit...

When i watched it a couple of times for the first time from start to finish, i wasn't sure if i agreed with the ending, but i still thought that it was a great film to watch. It didn't take too long to come and was good value for money.
