Where to Watch The Crossing Guard
- angeltreadMay 9, 2026This mostly worked for me. David Morse shines pretty bright here. But Jack and Anjelica have enough to not get lost in the shadows. Some parts are just so real while other times people act kinda alien and while sometimes the dialog was really hitting with loads of pathos other times i found it a bit bizarre. But that is few and far between. I think the ending worked well and squeaked out a tear from me for the performances and the resolution. I never got bored but do feel like maybe a little more could have happened plot wise. The strip club plot seemed to go nowhere other than reenforcing Jack’s descent of character.
