THE CROSSING GUARD (1995)

There were two reasons why I watched this quite unknown film- It has Jack Nicholson in the lead role and it was directed by Sean Penn, who gave us modern classic ‘Into the Wild.’ After wasting 140 minutes of watching this film I do realize that that the film was destined to doom. Otherwise how can a fine actor like Nicholson play such a mediocre role!! It required hell lot of passion to watch this dragging drama where nothing is happening.
For six years a guy has waited for the man who killed his daughter accidentally. He’s out of the prison and the man wanted to even the score. I expected a thrilling film here but end up with just another emotional charged trash movie where even the redemptive ending didn’t materialize the principle of probability.
Simply a trash material. Avoid.

Ratings-4/10
