Reviews:
“Crossfire is not particularly original, but it makes up for that in several ways. Krishnan’s focus on character over action adds depth. The cast is solid, with Mandylor delivering a career-best. While those hoping for a hard-hitting actioner might be disappointed, anyone who prefers their genre picks with characters to root for will be highly entertained.” 7.5 out of 10, Film Threat
“This is a slow thriller that does a wonderful job of showing the paranoia and worries a law enforcement agent could have. It shows how they could constantly look over their shoulder for a returning threat. However, this can hold things back as we get a constant hint at action, without anything coming from this side of things.” 2 out of 5, Movie Reviews 101
“A pretty cool movie that’s part suspense piece, part character study, with a strained father-daughter relationship at its heart, carried by well-fleshed-out characters embodied by a very competent cast and held together by a directorial effort that’s both genre savvy and also shows a lot of heart.” Search My Trash
