This one is passable cos it never tries to be any more than it is, a disaster movie without the special-effects.

I came across this title while discussing a chapter about Disaster Management with my daughter for her exams. I asked her to check out Stallone's Daylight n this movie caught my attention cos of the similarities. To be honest, it is not that great, ther aint any big star cast, no fancy special effects but somehow i enjoyed it.

This is not possible!

I live in Latin America, where improvisation is an art, but not even down here people would act so stupidly and cowardly. Nobody obeyed anybody... and that includes the authorities! So, this would not happen in one of the most organized countries in the world. No way José!

Rather Pedestrian

After watching the recent, magnificent disaster movies Bølgen (2015) and Skjelvet (2018) I was expecting a lot more from this than what was given.

It is rather slow, has some poor dialogue and acting and does not attain the level of the previously mentioned disaster movies when it had the potential but too much was spent on character interaction and not enough on thrills and spills which is essential for a disaster movie!

An Insult to Dedicated First Responders Everywhere

In any incident it is critical that there be a clearly established chain of command and that that chain be respected and followed. This movie glorifies the opposite - a bunch on individual first responders who act like cowboys, free-lancing and disregarding orders and protocols. As an occasional first responder myself, the more I watched it the angrier I got. The type of individual actions glorified in this film would, in any well-run emergency unit, result in immediate suspension if not termination - or at least I hope they would.

DULL.

This film had promise with the beautiful snowy Norwegian landscapes and claustrophobic tunnel setting but unfortunately it's just incredibly dull. Looks like Daylight will continue to reign supreme in the niche tunnel-based disaster genre.
