“Crossing Point” (*1/2 out of four) was a sleazy, derivative action melodrama about an American couple (Shawn Lock and Maria Gabriela de Faria) on vacation in Baja when she is kidnapped by a vicious drug dealer who demands that he smuggle a backpack of cocaine into the U.S. or else she will be killed. Promising story is bungled by low production budget and you’ll eventually be numbed by all the sleaze. Not all that different from last year’s “No Escape” which was far more harrowing and suspenseful. Tom Sizemore and Luke Goss pick up a couple of bucks in wasted supporting roles. Cross this one off your list.
