Crossing Streets

I Watched this because I wanted to see the other work that Karn Ford had done and I was not disappointed. I admire her immersive character development and hope to see her in other films as well.

The story line is fairly simple, but decent, and the acting isn't too shabby either. All in all worth watching if nothing else is on.

Team a cop with a clergyman to look into some gang trouble and let this comedy, and action-filled buddy movie begin. Unfortunately, there isn't much in the way of comic hijinks here, and the action is hard to come by too. As far as I could see, the action consisted of one placid car chase, with nary an accident or rollover, and one foot chase. Both seemed intended more as padding for a movie that still only comes in at 88 minutes. Neither seemed very exciting.

Perhaps I'm looking for the wrong thing here, but I've seen so many cop & (fill in the blank) buddy movies that my expectations are more in line with Men in Black, Turner & Hooch, Rush Hour, Bad Boys, Lethal Weapon, and 48 Hours. This adventure was a tad out of my comfort range for such movies.

I've never heard or seen anything by the director or writers of this film before, and I didn't recognize any of the actors. It also seemed a bit preachy for me, but I guess that goes with the territory when one of the "buddies" is a man of the cloth.

Movies with such low budgets can only offer so much. This isn't really a bad movie, it's just not very exciting, so anyone looking for more than dire prose will probably be disappointed. At least I was.
