I thought the Crossing Guard was a good movie with a good plot. Jack Nicholson is my favorite actor so I don't think any movie that he is in would be less than good.
The story line was believable and the ending was unpredictable.

I loved the movie, I can't believe that I never saw it before. You can really feel for the charaters and I like that alot. You saw from both sides, the father coping with his daughters death and from the man that killed her.
I wanted to get this movie because I love Jack!

This was a great movie, but I am biased. I bought it because of Nicholson and was not disappointed! Very entertaining.
