Half an hour in, I still didn't have a clue about what the actual plot was.

I had no clue which twin was doing what. I guess that, on many occasion, onr took the other's place, but it wasn't clear.

Anyway: I didn't care.

Positive point: I was paid to watch that piece of irrelevant garbage by a tv station (I'm a promo producer). So I guess I can't say "I couldn't watch it even if they paid me!"....

But I do agree with a lot of other reviewers: the twins are really cute !

Brief summary: annoying overwhelming music clutters every moment of this ridiculously cliché movie. Every character is a one dimensional joke, every plot point predictable and, as far as American heist movies go, this one is the least interesting. Oh, did I mention this "american" heist movie is Canadian ? It's like the hugely under-talented ex music video director decided to copy the Michael Bay style of bad Hollywood crap but without bringing anything original to the recipe. And with very little money, I might add.

Canuel, the director, once said in an interview about his other movie "Bon Cop, Bad Cop" that the way he writes his scripts is by watching lots of movies like "Lethal Weapon" and reproducing what he thinks works. Thank you for being honest about your lack of originality, Érik ! The writer of "Tunnel" probably used the same method to bastardize true story and make it so generic. Canuel's talent resides in color grading his movie to look like a bad episode of CSI and using every tired directing cliché used in the past decade to remove any interest this might have had.

Skip it at all cost ! Seeing "Tunnel", and knowing that its inspired by a true story doesn't help
