Daylight: Special Edition
No Air. No Escape. No Time.
An accidental explosion rips through a jammed commuter tunnel beneath the Hudson River between Manhattan and New Jersey, sealing off both ends and trapping a diverse band of survivors inside. A disgraced former emergency medical services chief manages to reach them and then struggles through fire, noxious gases, explosions, collapsing walls, massive flooding and rats to lead them to daylight.

In typical Stallone fashion this is a one man saves everyone movie. It is quite good and the effects are really well done for a 1996 movie. All the bonus material was definitly worth checking out. If you are a fan of Stallone or just an action movie fan you will like this movieROCKY GOES UNDERGROUND - JulioSof
DAYLIGHT is everything you'd expect it to be as it joins the genre of disaster films of the seventies. Sylvester Stallone is a noble, almost saintly, hero, and we get a mixed bag of trapped people in the Holland Tunnel. Director Rob Cohen wisely focuses on the disaster and its aftermath and leaves the stereotypical characters to respond in expected ways. But what a cataclysmic set of special effects! The car crashes and resultant explosions are terrific and incredibly filmed. That alone is one reason to watch the film. Much of Stallone's heroics are implausible, but in a film like this, we are indeed holding out for a hero. The supporting cast is eclectic and adequate: a pre Lord of the Rings Viggo Mortensen is some kind of adventurer whose self-importance is his downfall; Jay O. Sanders, Karen Young and Danielle Harris are the troubled family; Stan Shaw is the heroic but doomed cop; Dan Hedaya is the loyal ex-partner; Amy Brenneman is the frustrated writer who becomes Stallone's romantic interest; the lovely Claire Bloom and Colin Fox are the elderly couple with the dog; and even Stallone's son, Sage, gets in on the action. Nothing new here, folks, but it is well done and the effects are awesome.
