Crossing Over

Movie (2009)


Immigrants from around the world enter Los Angeles every day, with hopeful visions of a better life, but little notion of what that life may cost. Their desperate scenarios test the humanity of immigration enforcement officers. In Crossing Over, writer-director Wayne Kramer explores the allure of the American dream, and the reality that immigrants find – and create -- in 21st century L.A.

Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): In Gavin's interview scene, the immigration officer relies on the Rabbi's opinion. The garb and the accent of the Rabbi suggest he is a European Orthodox (probably Lubavich), yet in the end he gives Gavin a card, saying he should come to Temple Bet Sholom. "Temple Bet Sholom" is typically a name for splinter Reform congregations, whose rabbis are mostly American- or Canadian-born (therefore no accent), and wear contemporary clothes.
  • When the immigration officers are interrogating Claire Shepard (Alice Eve), there is a brief mention to IMDb. In order to get an American green-card, Australian Claire affirms she's a famous TV star in her origin country; therefore, she could get a visa for outstanding accomplishment and become an American citizen. However, the agents later tell her they've searched her career profile and, "according to The Internet Movie Database, the only Claire Shepard that matches her spelling, age and place of birth has two credits on little known Aussie TV shows."
  • Movie Goof (revealing mistake): Near the beginning of the movie, there is a scene where Harrison Ford's character is booking a prisoner into a detention center for illegal immigrants. In this scene the booking officer is incorrectly wearing the uniform of a CBP Enforcement Officer instead of an ICE Immigration Enforcement Agent.
  • SPOILER: Sean Penn reportedly demanded that his small supporting role be cut from the picture after complaints about the 'honor killing' subplot from Iranian-American groups. Although Penn subsequently claimed the decision was a creative one "of which he was aware," Harvey Weinstein claimed that Penn demanded the part be cut through his agent.
