The Crossing Guard
"...Penn's skill with actors offers its own rewards....Nicholson and the stunningly effective Huston bring off a rare poignancy..."
The Crossing Guard
"...A portrayal of demise, disaffirmation, tribulation and self-breakdown that obviously comes from the heart..." -- 3 out of 4 stars
The Crossing Guard
Evil, above-sure, slow-moving drama of loss and feloniousness, but one that elicits some A-OK performances from the principals.
