Blind Blood

I'm not one for leaving reviews to be honest. But this one certainly deserved it. I'm not only a fan of this genre but I myself am also an independent filmmaker. So when I stumbled upon BLIND BLOOD I was skeptical. These films are not as easy to make with a low budget. But Michael Marco found a way. He is the Writer, Producer, Director and he performed in the film. A lead role no less.

Marco played the role of Raoul. Tied for first with my favorite characters in the film. Raoul is a badass with tons of charisma. The character had everything it needed to be someone you want to follow. I grew up to The Godfather, Scarface etc. When creating characters with Raoul's edge, you need an actor to pull it off. Michael Marco did just that!

My next favorite was Billy Ward played by Billy Blair. Where did this guy come from? Kudos to Marco for finding this guy. I don't want to say too much and spoil anything, but Billy Ward shows up at Jacks mechanics shop. Jack is played by Mark Hanson. And Billy knows a secret that can hurt Jack. A secret I don't want to spoil here. The problem is, Jack is not someone to mess with. And his partner in crime is Raoul. OUCH!! Times get tough for Billy Ward when Raoul shows up. REAL tough.

I wish I could say more about what happens but for me, I would rather not know. So I have to keep this brief. BLIND BLOOD is definitely worth a watch. And it leaves you wanting more. Makes me wonder if Michael Marco has a sequel up his sleeve. Because there is definitely more of this story to be desired. Give it a watch and you'll see what I mean.

The cinematography here for a low budget was outstanding! What a great job. This had to have been done by a veteran cinematographer. They knew what they were doing. Wrap it all up with a top notch editing job and you have yourself a GREAT independent film!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I would have given it 10 stars but again, it's independent. It's low budget. So you will see fragments of this in there. Maybe not. Again, I am an independent filmmaker myself, so, I may be seeing things you wouldn't.

Give this one a shot. You won't be disappointed.

Blind Blood has tension and mystery running through its veins. As things develop more is revealed and the tense scenes never let up.

To me, it's tension not just action, that glues the audience to their seats.

Bind Blood also has a great cast, the acting is right in tune with the story and the film's tone.

The direction is top notch and keeps you focused on what is happening in the scene. The script and its dialogue couldn't be more spot on, and is in keeping with the tone of the photography.

One more thing about the direction, I never felt out of the scene. But was in fact an observer standing among the cast.

And it has an ending that suits the story and needs no explanation. Check it out on Prime Amazon.

Blind Blood follows Texas gunslingers as they navigate a brutal world of violence, revenge, and lawless schemes. The film delivers superb storytelling that keeps you hooked from start to finish, blending gritty action with an oddly sharp sense of humor reminiscent of Reservoir Dogs. The characters are memorable, the dialogue crackles with energy, and the tension never lets up. It's a bold, stylish, and thoroughly entertaining ride through the darker corners of modern-day Texas. Phenomenal flick!

Michael Marco's direction in this crime thriller keeps you in each scene and in each frame. The tone of the photography is in keeping with the tone of the movie. Marco works both sides of the camera, besides his role as writer, director, producer.

His character Raul is deep and convincing as a killer.

When Billy Blair's character shows up armed with inside information on Mark Hanson's character, Jack, things take a dark turn. Jack is a dangerous character and along with Raul, ruthless.

I loved the way Marco got the most out of his budget, and made a film fitting for anyone who loves crime drama as much as I do.

The script and dialog are perfectly fitted. Be sure to catch this movie and see a real creative work.

More to come from Michael Marco, I'm sure.
