Interesting facts

Crosspoint is a 2024 Philippine-Japanese action thriller film written and directed by Donie Ordiales, with the screenplay written by Adam Luff and Tommy Shoes Morrison. The film stars Filipino actor Carlo Aquino and Emmy-nominated Japanese actor Takehiro Hira as the two men who started a manhunt for a wanted serial killer whose bounty will be the solution to their respective financial struggles.

Development

Shot mostly in Japan, the film Crosspoint was written and directed by Japan-based Filipino director Donie Ordiales from a story he wrote years earlier. The film was originally going to be a low-budget independent film but this was changed when ABS-CBN exclusive actor, Carlo Aquino, joined the project and made it into his first feature-length film.

Carlo Aquino, who was known for being a usual actor in family dramas and romantic comedies and being a fan of the Bourne film series, landed the role of Manuel Hidalgo when they informed that the project would contain suspense, action, and drama. Aquino's landing on the role of a washed-up Filipino actor-turned-entertainer in Japan is also attributed when his friend Zeppi Borromeo, who plays Oliver, recommended him to the production team.
