Crossfire

What led a former top scientist to rob a bank and hold a dozen hostages? Czech Television's crime thriller based on Martin Goffa's novel "The Little Girl" is squeezed into two environments - the interior of a robbed bank with hostages and the interior of a crisis management car, from where the police communicate with the mysterious attacker and try, like him, to play for time and find out more about him. The flashbacks also tell the story of the attacker's daughter Karin from the recent past, gradually revealing a connection with what is happening in the current storyline.

My take

A high-stakes thriller that pits characters against impossible odds in a web of deception and danger. Arlo would appreciate the raw tension and moral complexity as protagonists navigate a minefield of conflicting loyalties and survival instincts.
