Criss Cross

That's the full-title of this made-for-TV movie, released in 1996. CRISSCROSS was taken from 2 episodes of the TV Series "SWEATING BULLETS" a.k.a. "TROPICAL HEAT" (1990/1993, aired from April 1991 to October 1993). Those 2 episodes actually are #10 & #11 of the Second Season (aired on CBS "Crimetime After Primetime" at 11:30 pm on Sept. 28 & Oct. 5, 1992). It was shot in Eilat, Israel at the end of 1991 where the production of the second season was based for this CANADA-ISRAEL Co-Production Season (DLIN Film Productions & Accent Four Entertainment/Kushner-Locke - CBS). The DVD was released in Germany in 2001 under the title of "MORD UNTER HEISSER SONNE"; UK released it in 2008 (BlackHorse Entertainment/Vision Films) and USA released it in 2010 (Silver Series). CRISSCROSS is a re-editing of the 2-episodes (the only episode in 2- parts of the whole series), combined in one TV-movie well done (It was aired sometimes in 1996 on Sci-Fi (USA) as a one-shot -this is the reason why this TV-Edit was made). OK, it isn't the best script of the whole series, but it's quite fun and entertaining. "Absolute toilet" ?... Certainly NOT ! OK, if you're prude, well don't watch it, there's some partial nudity in this film (well, like in most of this TV Series episodes !). But the story is interesting enough to keep you awake to watch it 'till the end! After... It's all about a matter of own taste, you know !!
