Crossfire

There must be some algorithm at work here. The one true reviewer is the first on who I think was very generous with two stars, every single review after that was 10 stars all of them. The editing was dreadful, the acting was some of the worse I ever seen and as for the narrative it's junk. For example the daughter gets her purse snatched in a market after a small chase she losses him and bag and bumps into her dad's neighbour. The neighbour calls the daughters dad saying she misplaced her purse, and can he go and find it. That evening, he turns up with a purse., how. He must be a psychic with the description of her bag has gone missing. He's able to find it and return it to her with her mobile phone.. it's a tiring embarrassing waste of time and anyone who considers himself an actor in this movie needs to reassess their lives because acting is not for them. Don't waste your time on this film it is one of the worst films I've ever seen. In the moment I'm going to be asked if my review contains any spoilers I'm going to say no because the film is its own spoiler.

Came across randomly this indie movie. Started off at a slow pace actually but with time it took off. I guess being a real indie this has also come out on theatres in US which is the reason I watched. I am trying to make my first movie since last 5 years and this movie when i came to know was done in 12 days, I was shocked. 12 days ??? Thats lightning fast. A great team must be working behind this, specially the filmmaker deserves a praise. Camera work is good. Production quality could have been better. Being an action movie, it needs more action sequences but I feel its a character driven story with action just spread at start,middle and end. Enjoyed learning filmmaking through this indeed. Watchlist set for this filmmaker.

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.

(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!

This movie has probably one of the worst scripts I have seen in a long, long time. The acting is bad, and the directing is even worse. The script sounds like it was written by someone in the 2nd grade. There are holes in just the basic story that are completely moronic. For instance, at the beginning of the movie, his daughter comes to visit her father and he picks her up at the airport. Throughout the rest of the movie, she is meeting up with friends and acts like she just seen them yesterday! I am not sure why or even how these friends exist! The acting and script are stiff and unrealistic. Don't waste your time, it is definitely a "D" movie.
