About This Movie

Crosscurrent has this gritty, almost claustrophobic vibe that really pulls you in. Set against the backdrop of 70s San Francisco, it’s got that unique blend of crime and urban atmosphere. The pacing is tight, keeping you guessing as the detectives dig deeper into a world of drug dealing and shady dealings. The performances aren't over the top, but there's a rawness to them that feels authentic. Plus, the practical effects, though not flashy, serve the story well without drawing attention to themselves. It's a solid TV movie that doesn’t try too hard, but definitely leaves an impression. You can feel the era in every frame, especially with those cable cars rattling through the streets.
