The Crossing / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: The Crossing is notably a lot darker and somber in tone, with a lot more emphasis on philosophical inquiry, have deeper themes and the inevitable tragedy that awaits Billy and Boyd Parham. Though it's not without a tragedy, it's almost a stark contrast to the enjoyable, thrilling and sometimes comic tone of All the Pretty Horses and Cities of the Plain.
