Crossfire is a terrific character driven suspense thriller with a captive opening.
One of the classic Francis elements was missing, Tom Forsyth was never involved in a fight despite having returned from fighting and being injured in Afghanistan, to a place called home in name only.
What did work, however, was the climax. It was unexpected, somewhat shocking and one of the best from Francis in awhile. The epilogue was
well done and it is always important to me to know justice is served.
