More Detail:
CROSSING GUARD is an intense look at guilt and redemption. Freddy (Jack Nicholson) is a jeweler in Los Angeles, who is determined to kill, John Booth, the hit and run killer of Freddy’s daughter. Freddy is obsessed with Booth. At night, Freddy spends his time in a strip joint trying to drown his sorrows in sex and alcohol. Booth emerges from prison a thoughtful, quiet and humble man. Freddy visits his ex-wife Mary and boasts that he is going to make her proud by killing Booth. Freddy bursts into Booth’s trailer in the middle of the night only to find that he forgot to load his gun. Booth is prepared to die, but asks for three days of grace which Freddy grants him. During those three days, Booth leads an exemplarily life. On the night that he going to murder Booth, Freddy is stopped by the police for drunk driving. He escapes on foot, tracks down Booth and pursues him to an extraordinary ending.
CROSSING GUARD is an intelligent, artistic movie; however, getting through Freddy’s private hell is a difficult chore. Thus, the movie assaults the audience with nudity, sex and salacious images that will offend most moral Americans. It is regrettable that Sean’s quest for images has pushed him far beyond the sensibilities of most moral Americans.
