Amazon.co.uk Review

This echo of 1970s disaster films stars Sylvester Stallone as the disgraced former head of New York City's Emergency Medical Services, a loser who is nevertheless a compulsive rescuer of people in danger. When the Holland Tunnel is sealed off after a fiery explosion and car passengers are trapped within, he goes inside and leads a group of survivors (a mixed group allegorically representing America's diversity) through all manner of pestilence toward safety. Directed by the imaginative Rob Cohen (Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story), Daylight finds Stallone outrageously (and to almost campy effect) pushing the envelope of his martyr persona to near-religious levels. He throws himself, quite literally, into this part and between that entertainment factor and the unnervingly convincing effects, this is a pretty watchable film.--Tom Keogh

4.0 out of 5 stars Not your average action film, 15 Mar 2000
By stef_nz@hotmail.com (Asheridge, Bucks) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Daylight [VHS] [1996] (VHS Tape)
Another American disaster flick. I am a Sylvester Stallone fan so I thought I should watch this film. Even though it is predictable, it was action packed and the action shots set in the tunnel are spectacular. I recommend this movie to all even if you do not like Stallone it is not all about big action and muscle there is actually not a bad story to follow.

4.0 out of 5 stars standard disaster formula that works well, 14 Dec 2003
By Deborah MacGillivray "Author," (US & UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Daylight [DVD] [1996] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Disaster flicks are very very formula, so you know going in what you will get. The hero who risks all to see the trapped, scared people get out. The band of people will be a mixed bag, some good, some bad, and some really rising to the occasion and a few being more than they thought they could be. If you don't like this sort of flick, then give it a pass, because there is nothing really new. However, you if you enjoy edge of the seat thrills or daring do, well this is a pretty good time.

Stallone dons the mantle of hero properly and gives you nail biting scenes as he goes in to rescue people trapped in the Holland Tunnel after it is sealed off after a fiery explosion. Rob Cohen's (Dragonheart) direction is taut and fast paced, not living a lot of time to get to know these people, but it works.

A lot of good supporting work from solid actors, of note Viggo Mortensen (Aragon of Lord of the Rings for those who have been sleeping of late), makes this a rather enjoyable action film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quick Reviews!, 16 Sep 2007
Since everyone was making disaster movies in those days, and being trapped underground in the sewers wasn't a subject that had been tackled yet, Daylight was made.

Stallone is an ex fire fighter, trapped with a group of people in a big tunnel, under threat from fire, water, and an imminent explosion which would destroy the section they are in. The film follows the reactions of the different characters, as they struggle with the loss of family members and of each other, with panic, and with the attempt to escape. The stunts and effects are pretty good, the script and plot are adequate, but the characters are likable enough so that we want to know who gets out and who dies. It's Stallone's movie, and he does well in the role playing hero rather than action star, Danielle Harris is excellent as always but has little to do, and Viggo is wildly different from his LOTR character, being a self interested false hero. A decent soundtrack help the movie, but it's just another attempted summer blockbuster. Not a bad film, and worth watching. The DVD has few extras, but snap this up if your a Stallone fan, or if you're after some effective action at a cheap price
