Found this movie in a compilation of action films, that were mostly stinkers, and TUNNEL VISION clearly is head and shoulders above the gang. I don't understand why this film never got the recognition it deserves. For a low budget independent, it should be right up there with the major studio crime dramas, such as PRISONERS,also a 2013 film but with major stars. The actors in TUNNEL VISION are largely unknown, playing flawed characters, which seem all the more believable as real people. Christo has done a great job, in the footsteps of Stallone doing ROCKY,, as a writer, producer, and actor in his own film. Direction and Camera Work notable and out of the ordinary. I found this to be a totally engaging movie, and recommend it highly.

An artist needs to be allowed to grow outside the confinement of stereotypes that propagate ignorance based on a formula of appearance that's only champions lately, are heroes that exist in comic books. I commend any artist who is brave enough to share a story that can evoke feelings and demonstrate the complexities of human experience that doesn't wrap up neatly in a cute red ribbon. Independent film makers have a responsibility do to more than just entertain. I feel they are the last vestige of the individual spirit to challenge the commercialization of the human experience.
... View MoreI saw this movie at the premier in Santa Monica and for a low budget movie I was very impressed with all the production value locations/bikes/cinematography/music and the performances by all of the actors! As a filmmaker myself I know how much hard work and effort it takes to to get a movie made. It is even harder to get people to understand that it takes years from concept to the final edit and then to the first screening! so I say congrats to filmmakers/actors/crew and all the people that helped get this movie made and bigger congrats to Cristos and the Director for a job well done! Keep up the gr8 work! PS, whats the next project from Blackstone Pictures?
... View MoreExtremely Low-Budget ($100,000) Film that is a Vehicle for a Very Scary Looking Tattooed Actor Named Cristos. He has Appeared in Numerous Movies as a Biker-Thug Type and is Trying to Stretch His SAG Card to Include Leading-Family-Sensitive Man.He is Adequate but does not Quite Pull It Off as He just Cannot Leave Behind that Thousand Yard Stare and Mumbling, "Method" so Common Today even in Bigger Name Stars. The Film Looks Good and has a Bit of Style, but is Dank and Restrained to the Point of a Reluctance to Break Out into Anything Other than a Mood Piece of Neo-Noir.It is a Crime Story that is Engaging with False Arrests and Freedom for the Guilty. A Droll Drama with Little Action. Slowly Paced and Deliberately Downbeat the Movie is Enhanced by a Good Performance from Ion Overman as a Police Detective.Overall, the Movie is All Look and is Worth a Look for B-Movie Fans and Independent Film Aficionados, but Action Fans will be Disappointed.
