Crosshairs

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.

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.

I want the 2 hours of my life back. Mind-numbingly bad, if you watch this from start to finish you will be in a stupid-induced coma by the end. This thing seems to move in geological time, unpossible to like or have sympathy for ANY of the characters. The end is so bad you'll want to throw something at the screen. Give this a pass, unless you like pointless nonsense void of dialogue or acting. Imagine someone asks a question and the character doesn't respond, and you get LOTS of that. Or watching a guy cook an egg for no apparent reason, and it takes longer on the screen than if he'd REALLy cooked an egg. I could go on, but it would be pointless. Like this movie.

Don't say you haven't been warned.

this movie is not for fans of John Wick or Chuck Norris. There are not big explosions, long drawn violent scenes, and little appeal to thirteen year old kids. This is about intense casting, intense acting, intense directing, intense scripting, and intense viewing. If I was to compare it to something more recent that would probably be the move the ACCountant...though this is really better in most ways though I liked the Affleck film. The Hit-man Jack has his serene murder for hire life terribly complicated by a bad knee, bad girls, bad porn stars, and bad characters trying to make him an offer he literally can't refuse.

This film is incredibly well cast. Tom Seismore gives a great performance as a high class pimp and the Porn director steals a huge chunck of the film and actually has the best role. This movie is all about horribly flawed people going about life in horribly destructive ways and generally making the world a much more horrible place to live in. There are no good guys anywhere in this movie. They are all "characters" that could best be described as lost souls.

The fact that you will sympathize with Jack and even feel a bit akin to the "Sausage King" is a superb example of masterful film making and manipulation of the audience. This move is real, there are no heros, no Iron Men, no Caped Crusader, no Scarlett Johanssen beating hell of dozens of massive opponents armed wit machine guns. In fact there is no one in tights during the entire movie.

Parts of the move are vague and leave you guessing a bit. You may think there are plot holes where its really simply leaving something for you think about. The people who make this film are artists. This movie was made for a million bucks and good lord, was the money well spent. I would rather go to the dentist that watch putrid horse poop like Iron man vs Captain America. I could easily watch this again trying to pick up on all the many nuances I might have missed the first time. If you are a serious film fan or even a film maker, you should see this movie. Yeah, I was darn impressed. It deserves a 9.5. The people who didn't like this movie are likely the ones eagerly waiting on the next Rambo

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
