My Movie Review: The movie is a unique dark comedy thriller that holds your attention as on and on it goes, grimly violent yet glibly fun but what's making it special is set during Christmas:) While it is laced with some slight comedy at first, it slowly pushes into the crime and thriller aspect with ease with characters ready to be sinister and light wherever the script takes them:) Christmas Crossfire is entertaining and quite the experience it manages to unravel a vast array of knotty plot twists into something engaging from beginning to its end what more can you ask? The German film adheres to the “cat and mouse” chase, keeps it as violent as it needs to be while also managing to maintain the story with an air of measured silliness and what I craved about it most is there's always an element of surprise, like you can feel the danger is in the air:) Christmas Crossfire is stimulating, action-filled slight sinister humor as it does let itself down slightly with the repetitiveness, but then it circles back to an aggressive finale, on their third act!
Movie News: Christmas Crossfire is a dark comedy/thriller movie directed by Detlev Buck and starring Kostja Ullmann, Alli Neumann and Sascha Alexander Gersak, alongside others. Ah, what a year to be merry on Christmas. With Netflix coming out with one cheesy Christmas rom-com after another, it’s no wonder that we get another holiday-special movie to usher in the merriment. Only that, Christmas Crossfire isn’t really a movie with very little, if any, holiday cheer. I think the title itself is quite self-explanatory. It is quite safe to assume that there’s going to be no cheer or merriment in this very dark comedy about a man with the worst luck possible! Christmas Crossfire follows Samuel, a professor, who meets Edda at a bar and decides to go to her house in the countryside to attend her father’s birthday. However, on the way, some “fun” times result in him stumbling across a murder taking place which ushers in a series of misfortunes for the poor guy. There’s a lot of bloodshed to be seen and jokes surrounding it! Christmas Crossfire takes place in an one idyllic village where no one really bats an eye about anything. Everyone’s pretty unaffected by stabs and gunshots they hear like that’s no big deal! It’s movie about love, betrayal and vengeance and it delivers' on the vengeance part very well:)
