The feature is directed by filmmaker Mukunda Michael Dewil, whose previous credits include 'Vehicle 19' and 'The Immaculate Room'.
As per Deadline, the film centres on a high-pressure survival scenario involving a New York police detective.
According to the official synopsis, the detective "finds himself trapped on a park bench, holding a bomb, caught in the crosshairs of a hidden sniper, with no way to explain to the responding police force why there is a dead man at his feet."
As the situation escalates, "tension mounts and time runs out," forcing him to navigate "an impossible situation where every move could be his last," as quoted by Deadline.
Alongside Baldwin and Gaffigan, the cast includes Sydney Park, Kelly Greyson, Michael Sirow, Kate Linder, Jeremy Warner and Anthony Del Negro.
Crosshairs is a production of The Barnum Picture Company in association with Tillt Studios, IThink Productions and TPC, as per Deadline.

Another cop-thriller with a ticking bomb? Bollywood does this kind of masala better, honestly. But if they nail the tension and acting, could be a decent one-time watch on streaming. Baldwin's still a draw for many.
Big Gaffigan fan, but not sure about him in a straight thriller. His comedy is top notch, hope this doesn't become unintentionally funny. Solid cast overall though.
Seems like a typical "edge-of-your-seat" Hollywood fare. I'll wait for the trailer. Birmingham? Interesting choice. We Indians are more used to seeing such scenes in Mumbai or Delhi settings! 😅
The park bench trapped-with-a-bomb premise is a clever use of a single location. Could be a tense watch if directed well. But I do wish we got more Indian directors making thrillers for global audiences. Hope Dewil delivers!
I'll give it a chance. The synopsis sounds intense and I like both leads. Let's see if they can make a simple premise feel fresh.
