Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

alluietions It's refreshing to see Cristos move forward into a situation of creativity as a lead character in a film that communicates strength and vulnerability. 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.

mightycree-48250 I 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?

Wizard-8 "Tunnel Vision" could be considered a vanity vehicle, since Cristos not only starred in the movie, he was the producer, executive producer, and co-writer of the movie. The vanity aspect of the movie didn't bother me; I can accept such a vehicle as long as it's done well, but this effort simply isn't. To Cristos' credit, he takes a standard B movie setup (protagonist's family killed, causing him to seek justice) and tries as a writer to execute it in a different manner. While you might expect a lot of action, there's only a few seconds of what could be considered action in the entire 81 minutes. The problem with that is that by going down a more realistic path, potential (and regular) excitement is drained out, and Cristos seems unable as a writer to make this movie's chosen path interesting. Some blame also has to go to director Delila Vallot for making the movie boring and drained almost entirely of tension (and drained of color; the restrained cinematography resembles that of a black and white movie at times), though in fairness she was working with a really low budget. It doesn't help that Cristos gives a pretty poor performance - he makes Chuck Norris look positively animated. You'll probably only find this movie at a dollar store (like I did), and it's pretty clear why it was doomed to that fate.

LeonLouisRicci Extremely 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.
