Generally positive reviews
Manuel, an illegal Filipino entertainer, teams up with a bankrupt Japanese businessman, Shigeru, to catch a notorious serial killer and claim a huge bounty.
Is Crosspoint a perfect film? Far from it, but it is a well-constructed piece of entertainment that you’ll end up leaving the cinema with a warm fuzzy feeling that we made a film that’s worthy of a global audience. The actors all brought their A-game even if they only have 1-2 sequences.
”"Crosspoint" will take you on an emotional roller coaster set against the backdrop of downtown Japan.
”Crosspoint is a compelling fast-paced action thriller that resonates with real-life struggles and familial bonds. (3.5/5)
”The film boasts an impressive cinematography complemented by the performances of its two lead actors. It will take you to a heartwarming moments on familial love, the struggles of each of the characters on their careers, and how fate brought them together for a purpose, a gritty encounter that spawned a suspenseful climax.
”For those patient viewers who're willing to invest their time, they'll be rewarded with a gripping and thrilling third act. A pretty entertaining watch. (3/5)
”When you see the trailer and the plot, you’ll expect an explosive collaboration. When you see the ensemble and their accolades, you’ll expect an intense showdown. But all those expectations are not met. The film didn’t live up to its action and thriller genre. (0.66/5)
”The film is well-shot, competent, well-acted and engaging. With better pacing and a stronger focus on the action, the film could have made a greater impact.
”It's a lot of setup for not a lot of reward, and given the premise it's quite disappointing, even more so considering both Aquino and Hira are pretty decent given the material they have. (2.5/5)
