4.0 out of 5 stars Cool fight scenes, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Crossfire [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I thought the fight scenes were *very* realistic.

As a Martial Arts instructor I can tell you the grappling techniques used (reminisent of Gracie Ju-jitsu) are a lot more street-effective than the flashy nonsense used by the high kicking "action stars" we have been seeing throughout the '80s & '90s.

Crossfire is on to something here. I hope this becomes a new trend in realism for Hollywood action movies.

I give it two thumbs up as a action adventure!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting and well written, kept me on the edge of my seat., January 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Crossfire [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I did not expect much from this low budget film, and was pleasantly surprised. The film was fast moving and suspenseful. The movie takes place at the Statue of Liberty, where terrorists have left a bomb. A little deaf girl on a class trip ends up teaming up with our hero to save the day. The relationship between the girl and the hero (an ex miltary man with skeletons in his closet) is real and touching. The action scenes are well shot and exciting. Worth owning. I've watched it four times already.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall Entertaining, January 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Crossfire [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Seeking retribution for the death of his family, Dekova, a wealthy businessman dealing in illegal arms smuggling, attempts to destroy America's most treasured symbol, the Statue of Liberty. At Liberty Island with her schoolmates, an 11 year-old deaf girl, Gloria, learns of the statue's imminent destruction by reading the lips of Dekova's mercenaries. She seeks the aid of a seemingly kind tourist, Pike, the only person who understands her sign-language pleas. As it turns out, Pike is no ordinary tourist. He is a washed-up covert operative for the U.S. government, assigned to execute one of Gloria's classmates. Won over by the innocence of the girl, Pike decides to abandon his mission, and stop Dekova before hundreds of people are killed. When Pike's supervisor, Crane, learns of Pike's defiance, he dispatches an even deadlier assassin, Foster, to rectify the situation. That is, to kill Pike and complete the mission. Pike is forced to use all his special forces training to survive against Dekova's armed terrorists and Foster's lethal expertise. Simultaneously, he must locate the bomb's detonator in order to defuse the explosives hidden within the statue.

As the plot thickens and the action intensifies, you can't help but be drawn in. The majority of the performances are on target and special attention should be made to Robert LaSardo as "Leo" a small-time hood (in Hawaiian shirt).

Other noteworthy cast members include: Andrew Divoff (A Low Down Dirty Shame, Toy Soldiers, Another 48 Hrs.), Aida Turturro (Sleepers, Angie, Junior, What About Bob?), David Gianopoulos (Airforce One, Under Siege II, Candyman II) and Tim Thomerson (Air America, Trancers, Nemesis, Rhinestone).
