“Crossfire” (** out of four) was a limp action melodrama about a retired federal agent (Louis Mandylor) whose past catches up with him when a violent gang he put away kill his wife and then attempt to hunt down his daughter (Samm Wiechec) and they realize the only way to stay alive is to strike back and hunt them. Starts off promisingly but then fizzles out as story gets hokey and banal as it veers off into a father-daughter reconciliation story. One-time “Heat” co-star Kevin Gage shows up as a thug but this is sadly unlikely to give his career the rejuvenation and firepower it needs.
