Released in late 1996 this all action disaster movie concentrated most of its efforts on the survival of a handful of people trapped underground.
**BRIEF PLOT**
With a fleeing gang of jewel thieves and a couple of trucks filled with some dodgy chemical on the way to be illegally dumped it is not long before the two meet in the middle of a New Jersey tunnel, leading to one hell of a nightmare for everyone driving through the tunnel at the time.
With many exploding vehicles the tunnel begins to collapse and it is not long before both ends are blocked off , leaving several people still alive but trapped in the middle, fearing for their lives as the tunnel walls begin to show signs of weakening further.
Unfortunately for the survivors the air in the tunnel is soon becoming more poisonous, what with the Carbon monoxide levels rising and fires burning wildly along the tunnel, the rescue team have no option but to send in someone to try to stop the poisonous fumes from killing them all.
Enter the ever so ready action hero and godsend Kit Latura, (played by Sylvester Stallone), a rescue expert with many years experience.
His plan is to reach the survivors, via the labyrinth of service tunnels and bring them all out safely……
**IN CONCLUSION**
It is not a bad movie, having plenty of action and a bit of suspense, as you watch the people in the tunnel try to survive long enough to see daylight again.
The opening scenes, with the police chase and the lorry loads of toxic chemicals, the movie gets straight to the point, with the simplicity of how certain events can cause so much disaster.
Stallone plays his usual style as the action hero with attitude and a skill of surviving what would normally kill any mere mortal, it is like Rambo in a tunnel.
It is the type of movie which sees a group of strangers become united in danger and work as a tem to reach there goal, watching how the rich, the poor, the young and the old join forces and become one, watching as the group deal with one life threatening problem only to stumble across another.
The story line was well written, if a little slow in parts as the audience is introduced briefly to the tunnel dwelling characters. Stallone plays his usual style as the action hero with attitude and a skill of surviving what would normally kill any mere mortal.
The movie has everything a good movie requires to keep the audience entertained, it has the action, the drama, the standard car chase, together with some great explosions and cracking stunts. What more can you get in an entertaining movie.
Would I recommend it…? I would have to say yes. It is worth watching at least once even if you think Stallone is a bit of a dodgy actor. The story is well written, if not original, and the action can be gripping in parts.
Give it a go…you may enjoy it.
