...Penn does a solid job....[Nicholson's] most convincing characterization in years.
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 3/4 --
though Penn doesn't always seem to know where he's going, his movie doesn't altogether miss its destination.
USA Today
Rating: 2.5/4 --
What is good about this film is very good, but there are too many side trips, in both the plot and the emotions, for the film to draw us in fully.

Rating: 9/10 --
Moving, unpredictable and psychologically complex.
Fantastica Daily
...Penn deserves admiration for both an interest in material and an approach that lie outside the safety zone of commercial certainty...
Variety
...THE CROSSING GUARD gives us the most honourable Jack Nicholson performance this decade...

Product Description:
After a hit-and-run takes the life of a man's daughter, breaking his heart and destroying his marriage, he plots revenge on the man who did it. When the driver is released from prison six years later, the two men find themselves on a fateful collision course. Penned by Penn, in a nod to French New Waver Claude Chabrol's similarly gripping "This Man Must Die."
