Crossfire

(2023) Crossfire THRILLER

Co-edited, co-produced, written and directed by Yadhu Krishnan that has Mark Patson (Louis Mandylor) part of a anti-criminal task force in New Mexico and him stepping down his role for the intention of spending more time with his teenage daughter, Alisha (Samm Wiechec). At first it looked as if he was an absent father, but as it turned out, his daughter was cutting him out of her life as a result of him being somewhat responsible of his wife/ mom's death. Mark was also infamous for bringing down the "Gorilla Gang" and his wife was gunned down for retribution. He picks her up at the airport and during the movie, we learn more about their relationship as well as the helpful neighbor, Miriam (Lori Pelenise). Mark also used to work in Special Forces and he trains his daughter to defend herself as well a shoot. And while there, she also meets up with some old friends such as Viola whop still hangs out with some bad people. Viewers are wondering whether Mark will ever catch the killer of his wife.

One of the major problems with this movie is the fact although he taught her how to use a fire arm as well her being just as good as him, he does not even arm her toward the end, when the killer is on the loose. Nor does he have law enforcement to look out for her. My rating might've been lower as a result of those inconsistencies but the direction is not the most cringe worthy I had ever seen. And the action is just a few fight scenes!

As some honest reviews have said the story is full of plot holes which don't even try add up ie: the hero just happens to show up in a place they have no reason to be to save the day at exactly the right time, people that end up dead don't get reported missing. The acting is bad now some of that can be blamed on the director who should have been fired, but the actors weren't good either. All round there is no saving grace for this movie unless you are using it for a drinking game where you take a shot.eveytime someone shakes hands. This movie also has one of the worst endings I've seen in years. Does this review contain spoilers no because they is nothing to spoil.

This film I don't know what the budget was but if it costs more $2.98 they spent too much. The acting the writing the directing is subpar. The so-called actress Samm Wiechec is laughable. Watching paint dry is more interested ng. Save your money and time Louis Mandyloris is far from a talented actor and needs acting lessons. The film is a total waste of time and you are better off reading a good book of viewing a great film on TCM where you will never find anything with anyone who is associated with this waste of celluloid. No point in wasting anymore of my valuable time typing on. This POS. You can find better acting performances on a below average episode of the series saved by the Bell.

If zero stars were available, this would get minus-zero Dire plot, lousy acting and directing, the worst cast ever.

The time taken to watch this horrendous film can never be regained as is sometimes said I started watching it thinking it must get better , it didn't, it got much worse The plot is nonsensical, the actors are totally unconvincing and people who rated this 10* need serious help.

It was embarrassingly poor for anyone involved and I personally cannot believe any studio put its name to this.

It was cheesy beyond belief and complete drivel Please, do not waste your time,m you will regret it.

This movie is a total mess, like the director and writer were on a crazy bender when they cooked up this disaster.

The performances are cringe-worthy, and the script feels like it was written by someone who just learned to spell.

The only saving grace is the half-decent cinematography, but that's like putting a Band-Aid on a sinking ship.

Netflix usually delivers, but this one is a major letdown, dragging their reputation through the mud. It's the kind of flick that makes you wonder if they've lost their minds over at Netflix, green-lighting low quality products like this. Save yourself the agony and skip this cinematic catastrophe.
