Review of Daylight DVD by blissman70

Advantages: great action packed dramatic movie...in a tunnel
Disadvantages: none really

...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 ... Read review

One of Stallones best
Review of Daylight DVD by elspeth334

Advantages: Great action, special effects and acting
Disadvantages: none

This is a disaster movie like you have never seen before. The special effects are incredible and depict a massive explosion in a tunnel sealing both ends but leaving survivors trapped and suffocating slowly due to toxic fumes. Stallones goes down to help them to get out. The great thing about this movie is how one thing happens straight after another so its pace carries you along for the ride. It develops the characters perfectly so you can sense ... Read review

Should This film have seen the light of day?
Review of Daylight DVD by da_musicman

Advantages: Disaster movie for the nineties
Disadvantages: Nowt new and predictable

Yes.This film did deserve to see the light of day. It is another of those films which is fun to watch but has no deep meaning and anything else. This is one of few Action movies in which Guns aren't a major part of the thrills(Which makes a change). Stallone is a rescue guy(Ala Cliffhanger) who isn't working at the moment(Ala Cliffhanger). He has to step in to save a load of people who are trapped in a flooding tunnel(Ala Cliffhanger. Well sort of). ... Read review

Speedy good for action fans
Review of Daylight DVD by Gabyminx

Advantages: Dont get bored, good emotional parts, good themes
Disadvantages: Not expanded on enough, more detailed characterisation needed

Whilst watching the film I didnt get bored for a moment. Throughout one thing happens after another with speedy regularity. A road that runs through a tunnel in New York is packed with passengers in the evening rush home. The film starts with a few glimpses into the different characters lives, a teenage girl and her parents who is rude and difficult (like most teenagers!) a poor struggling actress, a bus full of convicts. Then as all these different ... Read review

Stallone at his action hero best
Review of Daylight DVD by bigmike33

Advantages: Great sequence at the start
Disadvantages: Seen it all before

Daylight is classic Stallone fare; loud, fast and action packed from start to finish. Although it's predictable and similar to hundreds of other action films, it's still a very watchable and exciting film containing lots of action packed sequences, doing exactly what it says on the tin. Sylvester Stallone plays the tough action guy role, similar to his performance in Cliffhanger. The whole of Daylight takes place in a long winding tunnel, a perfect ... Read review

Great Film
Review of Daylight DVD by becky_uk

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

Daylight starring Sylvester Stallone is a great action disaster movie. The story is that in a tunnel in America there are many people going under the sea to travel from New York to another city. However some joy riders hijack a car and ride it through the tunnel and crash. A huge ball of fire is sent spiralling through the tunnel killing nearly everyone inside and forcing the rock at each end of the tunnel to close in. The few survivors get together ... Read review

Is there light at the end of the tunnel
Review of Daylight DVD by andy1471

Advantages: The end
Disadvantages: It keep going and going

I bought this video because it had stallone in it which to me almost spoke ACTION but when it came down to it this film was terrible. Ok apart from the film showing the tunnel being sealed which was totally unbelievable (ok its hollywood) but why send in an emergency medical chief you would send the fire brigade or army haha. This is one of those films that just makes you cringe and think omg why did i buy this because its a real lemon. It has ... Read review

Not bad for a Stallone film...
Review of Daylight DVD by gches

Advantages: One of Stallones better films
Disadvantages: Could be a little more inspiring

Daylight is set in New York tunnels after both ends collapse during a getaway chase. The hero of the day, who is......Stallone has to then take control and save the day and everybody in the tunnel. It's actually not a bad film. It's an interesting idea not seen very often. Stallone actually plays the part quite ok, and the film production qualities are above average. It won't stand out as the best film you'll ever see, but it won't be on your worst ... Read review

Not as bad as some think
Review of Daylight DVD by MissTRious

Advantages: Pacy story
Disadvantages: Little two dimensional at times

This is a reasonably paced disaster movie. The characters on the whole are pretty two-dimensional with the exception of Stallone. The premise is that there has been an explosion in the Hudson Tunnel (forgive me if I've got the wrong tunnel) and Stallone a former Rescue Chief goes in to rescue some survivors. The pace is fast and at points can be pretty nerve-wracking although there is still plenty of opportunity to play “Spot the people who aren’t ... Read review

GREAT STALLONE MOVIE
Review of Daylight DVD by colin272363

Advantages: WICKED FILM AND FULL OF ACTION !
Disadvantages: This film must be slightly old by now

Ive seen this film many times and was at one point one of my all time favourets. Silvester Stallone stars in this hit action movie that will keep you eye to eye with the tv screen all the way through. This stunning preformance from Stallone shows a broken down character that was once responsable for several deaths that where in his responsability. After this brief introduction we soon realise he is put in the same possision again when an american ... Read review

Review of Daylight DVD by amandamack

Advantages: really intense
Disadvantages: none

well the action starts in this film at the very beginning, it is an intense film with lots of action, and stallone plays his role well. the basic outline of the film is that about 10 people get trapped in a tunnel when both ends collapse, and the tunnel slowly starts to fill up with water, while they try to escape. there is plenty of different characters in this film, the loud mouth, the quiet one, the brave one, the scared one, etc. and they ...
