Audience Member Solid coming-of-age story with a trio of youths that have a moral dilemma of whether they should smuggle drugs across the Canadian border. All while dealing with the harsh reality of having to grow up and move on. The final monologue with the line about friendship was quite poignant and actually had me thinking about life. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/18 Full Review Audience Member The first film from Mike Binder, who brought us BLANKMAN and REIGN OVER ME. This is not your usual coming-of-age story, which is why I found the film so appealing. A great young cast featuring Stephen Baldwin, Josh Charles, and Jason Gedrick makes this odd story come together nicely. I caught this on the tube early this morning, if you manage to flip on the television and see it. You may want to consider giving the movie a chance. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Above average coming of age drama. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It's great finding little gems that you have never heard of. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie. Kind of a coming of age flick showing choices to be made. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed this movie. I tend to enjoy the whole genre of teen movies set back in the day.Crossing the Bridge is set in my old stomping ground of Detroit. I felt that I could relate to the scenery as well as the characters. A coming of age story, each of the three main characters undergoes change during the movie.
