The 1970's the golden age of the disaster movie. Maybe. As for man made disasters there cannot be too many people who have not seen Poseidon or Towering Inferno at least once. But then the wheels did came off in the seventies - evidence Roller-coaster. Fast forward to the 1990's. You can picture the meeting were they agree that it is time for a big budget revamp with...........Stallone in the lead. Actually he isn't too bad in this alas the rest sucks. The movie starts with a series of small vignettes to introduce the lifestyles of some of the characters about to be trapped. The English language does not have an expletive free adjective strong enough to describe how irritating each of these characters are. Equally if not more diabolical are the characters in the control room. Of course every cliché in the book is wheeled out and although there are a couple of impressive set piece special effect sequences it takes way more than this to make an enjoyable film. After i watched this i only then became aware that Rob Cohen had directed and this came as no surprise as he has directed some of the worst movies i have ever seen.

Just a regular day on the job for the tunnel workers who manage the underwater road tunnel that stretches from New York to New Jersey, Yeah Right. When an explosion occurs in the tunnel and the emergency chief is killed they call in Kit Latura (Stallone) to save those who may still be alive. Will Kit be able to forget his past and save the survivors or will they never see daylight again. Great movie. You will be stuck to your seat from beginning to end.

Not the greatest movie but also not bad. Lots of action by Stallone. Unrealistic as many action films are but entertaining enough. As an animal lover, I loved the dog addition and did not like the "s*** with legs" part. It's a little cheesy but watchable.

This movie was exhausting. I couldn't take it. So many pathetic human beings crammed into one tunnel. If the tunnel collapsed and killed them all I would've felt a million times better. Mean, I know, but it's a movie so whatever. If we handled disasters in the way they were handled in "Daylight" then we're doomed as a people. There were about a dozen selfish talkative morons and one superhero. That's not a formula for success. Even when the movie made them work together in a moment of human togetherness it was contrived, sappy, and absurd. They merged from bickering to self-sacrifice to bickering all without missing a beat. It was highly annoying. What happened? An unscrupulous toxic waste handler had his guys transport some highly combustible material from New York to New Jersey to illegally dump it. While going through the Holland Tunnel the trucks were involved in an accident and it all exploded. The explosion killed many and those it didn't kill it trapped underneath. Kit Latura (Sylvester Stallone), a former fire chief, risked his life to rescue the consortium of trapped people. From the moment he reached them there was non stop complaining, yelling, ego-tripping, blaming, and every other sort of counterproductive behavior you could think of. It was headache inducing. I just wanted the noise to stop. If that meant every one of them had to die under a trillion tons of rubble, so be it. Among the putrid personalities: The new fire chief who wouldn't accept any help from Kit, because you never accept help in a crisis. He died. A celebrity extreme athlete who never met a challenge he couldn't conquer. He started climbing in an unstable area he was told not to. He died. A prisoner who wanted to be in charge though he was woefully ill-equipped. He was such an raging tool that he was going to kill the one guy who could actually help them all. Of course, he died. A traffic cop--the last Black guy left--who actually was the only decent person of the bunch. He died. An older woman who loved her dog more than life itself. She had a heart attack and died. All the rest of the yellers, screamers, criers, and complainers lived thanks to the heroic selflessness of Kit--leaving me with an irreparable headache.

This movie is unintentionally funny. Stallone is overracting again in one asinine scene after another. Pro wrestling is more believable than this dreck. Stallone should be banned from the screen, for the benefit of humanity.

You wouldn't want to miss this disaster movie. This movie is basically excellent thats the reason why I voted 10. Stallone's performance in this movie was absolutely outstanding and along with all the other people and one dog. You people out there rent it, and see for yourself and you all will be thinking that at least I haven't spent my money on something rubbish, it was worth while. This movie will make you sit on the edge of your seats throughout the whole of this movie. RENT IT. OR YOU'LL REGRET.
