    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Crossfire' presents a gripping premise with themes of survival and moral dilemmas, praised for its strong cast, especially Keeley Hawes, and tension-filled atmosphere. However, it faces criticism for implausible plot points, inconsistent character decisions, and lack of depth. Many find the characters' reactions unrealistic, detracting from believability. Some feel the show fails to capitalize on its potential, leading to a mixed reception.

    Dreadful

    From the beginning I found the demographic of the family/friends ensemble totally unconvincing.

    It was so confusing and even at the end I had no idea who the children's parents were.

    The rest of it was unconvincing as well. A load of people running around acting scared did not actually convey the horror of the situation. One assumes this was based on the attack on tourists in Tunisia in 2015 when 38 people were murdered.

    A much more convincing film of this genre is the Norwegian film, Utøya 22. Juli (2018).

    I don't know whether it is the writing, storyboarding or editing that is at fault, but there was a distinct lack of continuity.

    You have terrorists shooting people indiscriminately and without any forethought except when they are faced with a featured cast character ... then they don't shoot them. They allow themselves to be engaged in pointless dialogue. Then there was the clichéd scene of a terrorist and tourist grappling on the floor trying to wrestle a gun free, with the usual inevitable result.

    The scene when the tourist looks on dumbly at a terrorist confrontation and walks stupidly into a knife is just embarrassing.

    Why did Keely Hawes character receive a police commendation when she was not a serving police officer and it happened in a foreign land?

    At best it would surely have been a civil award.

    And her going back into the force just seemed unbelievable.

    I really lost interest as the three part drama progressed, particularly the last episode which was boring.

    Think this hotel is situated on the island from Lost

    So in this large hotel only these guests ended up running round bumping into each other. Not sure who's kids were whose. Good job keeley managed to get hold of a shotgun from the back office or I don't know what they'd have done. And those poor kids must all be burnt to a crisp in that heat and no sun cream To say there only appeared to be 2 gunmen then everyone could have been saved quite easily.

    This island is so remote it's either Alcatraz or the Island from Lost, cos local police didn't turn up till about a week later Complete drivel and what not to do if ever you are trapped in a massive hotel with no security and all doors and gates locked.

    Seriously

    With such a great cast how could this be soo bad and how did they accept the script? The location is beautiful but none of that is shown.

    How can two young boys with the smallest of guns cause so much damage?

    The police were supposed to get there in thirty minutes but Keely is still running around two hours later saving everyone and not worrying about where her own family is. She was more bothered about her lover. I'm all for something that is a bit far fetched for TV viewing but let's not insult peoples intelligence. I doubt there will be a second series.

    This must be one of BBC's worst ever.

    Decent cast but sunk by a soggy storyline

    I like Keeley Hawes and Lee Ingleby, both excellent actors but they struggled to keep this ship afloat. It was an uneasy mix of domestic potboiler/soap meets Die Hard and will probably disappoint the audiences for both.

    It wasn't awful but it wasn't great and it didn't feel authentic, the action scenes at the beginning were quite flat. It wasn't helped by the fact that we knew nothing about the attackers and their motives. If all they wanted to do was kill people randomly why didn't they run out of ammunition very quickly? Everyone on the island had a mobile but no-one called the cops...

    Seemed more C5 than BBC though to be fair looked like it had a good budget but the direction was a bit off. As it progressed it turned into a bit of a turkey I'm afraid. One to give a swerve.

    Hours of absolute nonsense

    I've never seen anything like this in my life.

    I'm guessing it was loosely based on real life events in Tunisia a few years ago, but they could have introduced some sort of story line, or how about even just making it an hour long so as not to put us through such misery.

    Hours of complete nonsense, no real story, the odd flash back and and more gratuitous, pointless violence than you can shake a stick at!

    We were introduced to the characters so briefly as for it to be impossible to remember who was who.

    Usually like Keely Hawes stuff but this is pathetic. Don't waste your time, life's too short!

      When the helicopter is first seen arriving at the hotel, you can see several cars passing on the road outside. It's made out that they're in a very remote area but civilisation is just outside the gate.
