Crossroads – A Story of Forgiveness

Dove review.

This is a compelling drama. Bruce Murakami (Dean Cain) deals with the sudden death of his wife and daughter in an automobile accident. The event has a ripple effect as it affects not only Murakami’s two sons, but the boy who is discovered to have been involved. Young Justin Gutierrez (Shiloh Fernandez) does a good job portraying the grief and guilt-ridden young man, whose mistake in racing was the stimulus which caused the accident.

This movie deals effectively with the issue of death and the determination of Bruce Murakami to forgive the young man who was responsible for his wife and daughter’s death. The film is pretty clean, with no language in it, and we recommend it for ages twelve and above, due to the mature subject matter. It is a good story and therefore we award five doves to the film.

Dove Rating Details

Accident in which two people die, not graphic; boy on bike struck by vehicle; teenage boy hits another teenager.

Couple kiss.

Brief scene of drinking.

The subject of death and forgiveness is explored and a father's lack of communication with his son; mature themes including a lot of tears.

Show Based on Tampa Street-Racing Case

Dean Cain's character turned a quest for retribution into a personal journey toward forgiveness. "He was so angry, of course he was bent on vengeance. I would be, too," Cain said of his role in "Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness" as Bruce Murakami. "Where else are you going to put all that emotion?" The film was inspired by the true story of Murakami, a Tampa man whose wife, Cindy, and daughter, Chelsea, were killed in 1998 when their car was hit by a street-racing teen-ager.

Eventually, the real-life Murakami did put aside his rage. Instead of seeking prison for Justin Gutierrez, the driver responsible for the crash, Murakami requested that the boy speak to other high school students about driving responsibly - and about how the lives of two families had changed tragically because of careless behavior behind the wheel.

The movie dramatizes events surrounding the incident, including the day Cindy (Chelah Horsdal) and Chelsea (Katie Pezarro) died and the joint appearances by Murakami and Gutierrez (Shiloh Fernandez) to draw attention to dangerous teen driving.

Hallmark Hall of Fame, which produced "Crossroads," has a record of making films based on the theme of forgiveness.

"If you went back in our history - which is 56 years - and asked what is most often the topic of our movies, you'd see that it's forgiveness," said Brad Moore, president of Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions.

"We may not promote or name them that way, but it's about people who forgive others and, thus, forgive themselves as well. The real Bruce Murakami said that being able to forgive saved his own life."

Cain said he was most worried about filming the scene depicting Murakami arriving at the accident. Unsure of what has happened, Murakami instinctively fears his wife and daughter are involved in the crash, which is marked by plumes of smoke from a burning car.

"I dreaded it from Day One, and it was my least favorite," said Cain, who was relieved the scene was accomplished in only two or three takes.

"The subject matter was so heart-wrenching," said Cain, who has a 6-year-old son, Christopher. "And being a father, you have to play those emotions through your heart and your head."

Cain hopes parents will watch the film with their children.

"That's a big part of the message, and everybody can learn from it," he said. "People don't realize how many children are killed in automobile accidents. It's the leading cause of death in kids under 18."

The film also stars Peri Gilpin as Murakami's lawyer, Erin Teller. She works with him, first to prove the accident was not the fault of Cindy Murakami, who had reportedly pulled out into traffic without looking, and then to bring the at-fault driver to justice.

Teller initially is surprised by Murakami's choice to forgive the teen driver after her efforts to build a legal case against him, but she supports Murakami's decision, as do his sons (Landon Liboiron and Ryan Kennedy).

"Making that decision to forgive and heal is an incredible journey, and it's one I am not sure I could take," said Cain.

ILAHIYAT STUDIES A Journal on Islamic and Religious Studies

Following the humanistic approach in psychology around 1950, positive psychology rediscovered in 2000 the importance of positive emotions, personal strengths, and virtues for mental health and wellbeing. As psychology from the pastoral counselor’s point of view, pastoral psychology also emphasizes potentials and personal growth and employs the same virtues. Although they have epistemologically different roots, pastoral and positive psychology have many common features, virtues, and aims. These commonalities encourage collaboration between these disciplines. Based on such common virtues, pastoral counselors can benefit from the research findings and theories that positive psychology developed. Positive psychology conversely can benefit from the religious dimension and meaning of these virtues and enrich its practice. This essay presents common features, aims, and virtues such as forgiveness, hope, and love and suggests possibilities for collaboration between pastoral psychology and positive psychology.

Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness

A Hallmark Hall of Fame telepic with a maudlin tag like "Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness" seems like the usual pre-sweeps primer. In fact, "Crossroads" starts off in sensational, TV-movie fashion and looks as if it's all just an elaborate cautionary tale about the dangers of teen speeding.

A Hallmark Hall of Fame telepic with a maudlin tag like “Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness” seems like the usual pre-sweeps primer. In fact, “Crossroads” starts off in sensational, TV-movie fashion and looks as if it’s all just an elaborate cautionary tale about the dangers of teen speeding. But the pic delves a little deeper than that and offers a few surprises, not the least of which is its star, Dean Cain.

The former Man of Steel demonstrates here that he can do some serious emotional lifting, too, giving a very affecting performance as Bruce Murakami, a man who loses his wife and daughter in a fiery car accident. Based on the real-life account of one man’s tragic loss and subsequent landmark court case, pic is helped greatly by a supporting cast of up-and-coming young actors who deliver take-notice performances.

Popular on Variety

The ideal life for the Murakami family is suddenly shattered one day when mom, Cindy, and their 11-year-old adopted daughter, Chelsea, are killed in a particularly horrific traffic accident. As if their sudden deaths weren’t crushing enough, the initial police report lists Cindy, a very cautious driver, at fault. What seems like a small bureaucratic detail becomes a point of contention for Bruce, who is desperate to make some kind of sense of the tragedy. He’s not alone in his grief — his two sons are also suffering, but none of them seem able to help one another. The eldest, Josh (Ryan Kennedy) retreats back into his familiar college routine, while Brody (Landon Liboiron), a happy and creative 15-year-old, becomes withdrawn.

Bruce can’t see the dysfunction in his own family for all of his anger, despite the help and guidance of family friend Melissa (Julie Warner). When he learns of witnesses who report seeing street racing at the time of the crash, Bruce enlists the help of feisty prosecutor Erin Teller (Peri Gilpin). Bruce’s crusade for justice takes over his life, and his relationship with Brody becomes even more strained. As the case against 17-year-old speeder Justin Gutierrez (Shiloh Fernandez) goes to trial, Bruce is stunned to discover that the focal point of all of his anger and resentment is a young, upstanding teen not at all unlike his own son, whose life also has been destroyed by the accident. Instead of retribution against Gutierrez, Bruce now wants find a way for everyone to heal.

Cain’s Bruce doesn’t have any one moment of realization; he’s a guy stumbling his way through tragedy, grabbing what consolation he can. His journey is messy and at times aggravating, which, for a director, can be particularly challenging.

John Kent Harrison, who has a lot of experience with the Hallmark Hall of Fame franchise, offers straightforward storytelling and camerawork. Just when it feels like Gutierrez’s public confessions could quickly turn into the traveling redemption tour or some twisted form of revenge, Harrison returns the focus to the process of grieving. Grief, it seems, doesn’t really end so much as it evolves.

Fernandez, who bears a strong resemblance, acting chops and all, to Joaquin Phoenix, is a crucial part of the story’s success. Without his believability, the pic wouldn’t work. Although Liboiron and Kennedy have smaller parts, their performances are equally affecting.

One beef, and a big one at that, is that the movie gives the impression that Bruce’s ultimate forgiveness and Gutierrez’s redemption happens in a rather short amount of time. In real life, the case and its ensuing ramifications took three years to unfold.

9-11 p.m., Sunday, April 22 CBS

If there’s something familiar about the story of a man who forgave a reckless teen for killing his wife and young daughter in an auto crash, it’s because the tale has made the rounds. It’s been reported on “Dateline,” “Good Morning America” and “The Early Show.” Bruce Murakami, the widowed father, has told it to Connie Chung, Montel Williams and John Walsh.

The Bottom Line Empty

Even so, it comes across with fresh power and haunting impact in the dramatization on the latest “Hallmark Hall of Fame” presentation. That’s not to say that it plays out evenly, though. The story is highly condensed, so much so that it looks as if the writers raced the clock to an improbably optimistic conclusion.

Still, you have to admire their attempt to deal with a variety of compelling themes, including grief, forgiveness, justice and family. And you have to applaud the performance of Dean Cain who, as Murakami, makes credible the transition from uncomprehending sadness to magnanimous forgiveness.

In November 1998, a teenage driver, Justin Cabezas, raced another car down a busy city street. His speedometer froze at 85 miles per hour when it hit the minivan driven by Cindy, Murakami’s wife. The collision pushed the minivan into an oncoming SUV, killing Cindy and their 11-year-old daughter.

Initially, Cindy was ruled at fault for inattentive driving. Murakami, with the help of an aggressive lawyer and investigators, not only cleared Cindy’s name but provided enough evidence to charge Cabezas with vehicular manslaughter. All of this took years. Meanwhile, Murakami found Cabezas to be genuinely remorseful. They worked out an agreement that kept Cabezas, by then 21, out of prison in exchange for house arrest, probation and hundreds of hours of speeches before teens about the danger of road racing on city streets.

In “Crossroads,” names are changed to protect the guilty. Justin Cabezas becomes Justin Gutierrez. Shiloh Fernandez, who plays him beautifully, projects the regret and pain felt by a basically decent kid whose thoughtless decision snuffed out two lives. Peri Gilpin, as Murakami’s lawyer, is mostly wasted in a role that exists mostly to advance the story line.

The teleplay by Peter Hunziker, Cynthia Riddle and Oliver Goldstick diverts too much time away from the evolution of Murakami’s emotions with endless scenes of angry and sullen son Brody (Landon Liboiron) but otherwise strikes a reasonable compromise between creating drama, developing character and recreating history. Director John Kent Harrison keeps things fluid, prevents the film from getting overly maudlin and provides many imaginative scene transitions.

Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness

Film details, brief synopsis, cast & crew, john kent harrison, james ashcroft, landon liboiron, technical specs.

Inspired by a true story of a man whose feelings of anger, blame and sadness are changed when he decides to forgive the unforgivable. Bruce Murakami is a hard-working man who sometimes puts his job before his family life. On a night when a work call preoccupies him at home, his wife and daughter are killed in a car accident caused by a young driver named Justin. When Bruce finds out that Justin was illegally racing on the highway when the accident happened, Bruce decides to pursue him and have him prosecuted for murder. With the help of a powerful attorney, Erin Teller, Bruce files suit against the young man, which is overwhelming for both Justin and his family. But as the case progresses, Bruce begins to have a new understanding of his own emotions and, in turn, what will be best for everyone in the end.
