Daylight (1996)

Daylight: Directed by Rob Cohen. With Sylvester Stallone, Amy Brenneman, Viggo Mortensen, Dan Hedaya. Disaster in a New York tunnel as explosions collapse both ends of it. One hero tries to help the people inside find their way to safety.

“Reminiscent of the seventies disaster flicks, mostly of u0026quot;Poseidon Adventureu0026quot;, a group of people are stuck in a tunnel after a horrible explosion traps them underground; now its up to a washed up EMS worker to get them out alive before the mayor and rescue workers finally blow everything up assuming the survivors arenu0026#39;t alive.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThough the story is very predictable and nothing new, this does make for an entertaining and interesting survival flick.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSylvester Stallone doesnu0026#39;t play a commando or soldier, but for once plays a regular guy who is really clueless at times when it comes to escape.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe also get some great performances from excellent character actors including Dan Hedaya, Danielle Harris, Amy Brennamen, and the underused Viggo Mortensen before he became a household name in u0026quot;Lord of the Ringsu0026quot; films.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThough there is a lot of good stuff here, thereu0026#39;s a lot of contrived plot twists and predictable storylines. We know who will be killed, who wonu0026#39;t, we know the under developed people will be killed and the emphasized characters will survive.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn spite of all that, this is one of Stalloneu0026#39;s best before he began making bomb after bomb.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e(*** out of ****)”
