Fuoco incrociato a Natale

Just pain to watch-absolutely senseless storyline, absolutely senseless characters, the ones who live should've been shot dead in like a second once on screen - whatever, waste of my time

Film is art, and many people don't seem to understand that these days.

To evaluate this movie only on the basis of its plot would be very naive. First-class actors and ingeniously impressive images are simply ingorated here by some critics.

The movie is a welcome change from the currently omnipresent superhero and sci-fi movie hype. Its story is much more profound than it first suggests, which is why I also doubt the comprehension of some critics here.

Personally, I was quite taken by the story, although I can understand that one or the other expects more. But why do people then judge the movie as bad, if its simply not their genre? In germany everybody knows: "The best german movies are the ones without a specific genre!"

This movie is indeed a successful reveu of the, well known, german classic "Wir können auch anders".

I went into this with no expectations, and was very pleasantly surprised. This made me think of Shane black mixed with In Bruges . Character development is great. the story unfolds at a measured, suspenseful and entertaining pace. After a million cheesy holiday movies this sharp, fun film was a breath of fresh air.

Disjointed, horrible acting, dialogue, etc., etc. It doesn't fully sync with any genre, while also being promo-ed as "Christmas-related" on Netflix.

Christmas Crossfire is also sexist, misogynistic male-fantasy trash. Yay.

This movie is like a painting where you just cannot grab the meaning the painter intended to show. Filmmaking is art and so is this movie, but the film is like a painting that is made with great technique by a master and nonetheless lacks substance of what the painter wants us to see. So like in a museum in front of a paining that I do not understand I sit here and wonder what all this was about. I am at a loss, confused, and I was in this state most of the time watching this film. And this is what this movie tells us about the writer and director: he obviously was at a loss and confused. Nice views, nice acting, but a diffuse story that pulls the whole film into the dirt.

What a pity!
