Brace yourself for nonstop action and suspense! When an explosion seals off a commuter tunnel, the survivors are faced with toxic fumes, fires and the impending collapse of the tunnel.

As the walls cave in and the tunnel fills up with water, Latura risks his own life to save others and prevent the disaster from escalating into an even greater catastrophe.Filled with spectacular special effects and heart-pounding intensity, director Rob Cohen's (XXX, The Fast and the Furious) Daylight will have you holding your breath from start to finish.

"...A rollercoaster....The tunnel blow-out is horrifically convincing and truly awesome..." 01/01/1997 p.35-6ReelViews 7 of 10
"Daylight is an action picture without a villain. Frankly, it doesn't have much of a plot, either. Or characters, for that matter. In fact, the so-called dramatic elements of this movie are so shaky that you wonder if the film makers spent all of their money on a star (Sylvester Stallone, who reportedly got about $20 million) and special effects, then sort of made up the script as they went along. This is the kind of effort that would make Irwin Allen proud...On the acting front, Stallone isn't all that bad. He's playing a flawed hero, and there are actually signs of the kind of emoting he did long ago in Rocky...On balance, I have trouble recommending Daylight because it is riddled with problems. Nevertheless, I doubt that action fans (and Stallone aficionados in particular) will be disappointed. For, although as a complete story this film has more cracks than the collapsing tunnel, thrill- seekers in search of two hours of cinematic action will find that Daylight falls considerably short of being a disaster." - James Berardinelli
