Crossfire

Repetitive and ridiculous in equal,measure. No discernible plot. Muddled direction and devoid of direction. Unconvincing characterisation. Even inTenerife, the armed police would have been there in minutes. I could write more but this nonsense doesn't warrant the effort. Oh dear, I have to write more to meet the minimum review criteria. I'm off to make a cup of tea now. Then I will switch over and watch a documentary about fish. This review may seem meaningless but believe me, it is far more compelling than this over hyped nonsense. Rubbish. Absolute trash. There aren't even pretty landscapes of the island.

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.

I don't get the negative reviews. Why the hate? Yes, we have seen similar survival stories in the past but this gives it a strong modern spin. Can we pick it apart? Sure, but why? This is a well-done thriller, at least through the first episode and the beginning of the second. Looking for more backstory but it seems to be coming. Intriguing setting. Likable characters, even one of the bad guys. I'm hooked and ready to learn more. Acting is fully believable. Watch it for yourself, ignore the reviews. It's only three episodes and riveting drama. And if you're planning a visit to a foreign resort anytime soon, you may want to rethink your plans.

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.

Keeled Hawes having great difficulty acting to the lines of this one. The script and dialogue are extremely poor and the resort makes you think you're watching Benidorm with guns. Only one episode in but I'll be surprised if this gets any better. So a bunch of people are stuck on an island and someone shooting at them I'm certainly not giving away any spoilers with that. How long can you act scared for and make phone calls back home when you're on holiday Shane you're being attacked for no rhyme or reason. You'll be happy to know as well there's plenty of overacting in this new drama. I'll give it the second episode but I can't see it improving.
