LeonLouisRicci A Glacial Pacing and some Very Awkward Scenes Taint this Tale of a Professional Assassin, a sort of a "Day in the Life". The Movie Looks Pretty Good and the Acting is Passable but the Writing is too Ambiguous and Underwrought.There are Two Intolerable Scenes, one Unbearably Long and Wordy, the other just Unbearable. The Porn Director's Endless Story Telling of a Youthful Sexual Encounter may have You Reaching for the Stop Button or Falling Asleep as it just goes on Forever and Tom Sizemore's One Scene is just Outrageously Bad.This Moody-Broody Movie is OK but Requires a High Patience Tolerance and the Ending is, Again, Very Ambiguous and the Long Trek to get there is Perhaps the Most Unrewarding Letdown of a Film that Aspires for Something Different and Maybe even High-Art, but it comes up a bit Short on Both.

brent nash I've finally seen the long awaited "Crosshairs" by Nick Lentz. I can hardly submit an unbiased review based on knowing Nick form college, but as such I will attempt:) After warming the lamp on the big screen and turning down the bass as to not disturb the neighbors, Crosshairs delivers a suspenseful journey through the sleazy under workings of present day Los Angeles. I loved the locations as they felt real and one could nearly taste the Los Angeles weather. The music is reminiscent of Heat and the Godfather; a little awkward, but powerful and thrilling. The plot line was gripping and suspenseful to the end and gratifying to view. As to the biased part, the writing and directing are magnificent! thank you:) I will be watching again

joelnkraus My buddy was watching this at his house so I came in about 15 minutes late, but it was interesting enough where we kept watching. And I wanted to see what was going to happen. Really good and believable acting. Shots look cool, but you can see where the picture quality kind of seems low grade in some scenes. It's an independent movie so I take that into consideration. This isn't HEAT or the PROFESSIONAL. It's a cerebral movie, but offers just enough action and females to kind of keep you from looking away. Tom Sizemore has a nutty scene. He's just crazy. I think he's just playing himself. I wouldn't let my young kids see this because there are some pretty racy scenes and questionable language. It's worth a rental or a fun night on Netflix. 8 out of 10.

Deliberate_Stranger Believe it or not but I really wanted to like this movie. Waited for a DVD release, pre-ordered and then, when it finally arrived, I can't believe how the good storyline was wasted. On paper everything looks good but that's it. I have no idea why film drags for 2 hours when it should be maximum 80 minutes long and then, maybe there would be more tension in it. Because it is that long, it has to rely on acting and here comes the biggest failure. Leading actor Robert Seay is just beyond terrible. For the first few minutes I thought he will do just fine. Contract killer doesn't have to look tough after all. However, just after those few minutes I realized how big failure of an actor he is. Emotional scenes don't exist because this guy can't act. He's trying to look tough, talk tough and act tough but he's not tough, he's not smart and he just makes you laugh like hell when you see him trying. With a lead like that, your movie has to sink. Rest of the cast is pretty much horrible like that but it doesn't show that much because they usually appear on screen for a minute or less. There is however one man, doing his job right. It's Mark Rolston, fantastic actor who's trying to save this film. He can't do that because he's alone and his screen time is limited to few scenes. It's hard to say if he's a good guy or the bad guy after all but Mark does his job with charisma as usual. Tom Sizemore is top billed but to any fans out there(if he still have some fans that is) -he appears in one scene only. This scene however have to be seen to be believed. Not because he's doing great job but because he's high as hell. Yup, we all know Tom likes drugs and it doesn't bother me at all if he does them in his free time but being so high on the set is just...wrong. If you ever wondered why he's not in a big movies anymore - here is your answer. He has a monologue here and it could sound well if provided by other name actor but it wasn't. I hope his name helped to sell the film because his acting was just plain horrible. Kodi Kitchen is a leading lady and to be honest she does a fair job. She's not that much of an actress but around so many amateurs, she shines. 'Crosshairs' tries to be a thriller but there is no tension at all. There is action at all. If you expect any shootouts, fights or anything like that - forget it. All they do is talk. Leading guy fires his gun two or three times during the whole film, no one else tries to. I'm giving it 3 stars for Mark Rolston and because technically it looks good. If you want to skip any action and base your film on acting, you need to have a good actors. Otherwise it doesn't make sense.
