Cross

About This Movie

Cross (1987) is a gritty blend of action, crime, and thriller that dives deep into the psyche of a desperate policeman. Thomas Crosky, or Cross, is not your typical hero; he’s grappling with loneliness and a palpable sense of urgency. The pacing is relentless, mirroring Cross’s frantic search for his kidnapped family. The atmosphere is heavily laden with tension, and there’s a rawness in the practical effects that heightens every scene. The performances, especially from the lead, strike a chord as they navigate through despair and determination. It’s a film that offers a distinct take on the revenge genre, with a haunting score that lingers long after the credits roll.
