An accidental explosion rips through a tunnel beneath the Hudson river, sealing off both ends trapping the survivors inside. In steps Stallone, a disgraced former emergency services chief, who hopes to save the day in usual hero style.Daylight has a good blend of interesting characters, suspense, drama, action and special effects that all add towards the entertainment of the movie.Overall it's good fun to watch, and it does refrain from becoming silly or over-sentimental.7/10

Good ole Sylvester Stallone plays the only good character in this entire movie. He plays "Kit Latura described as the "disgraced ex-chief of the city's Emergency Medical Service. You just kid of get the feeling Kit is going to erase that "disgraced" label. Yes, a little predictable. Everyone else in the movie is annoying, obnoxious, profane, blasphemous, you name it.....just plain unlikeable.Yet even with all those unlikeable characters, the movie was interesting enough for me to stick with it for the entire 115 minutes. I wouldn't watch it again, however.The fire scene where the tunnel first explodes is tremendous: one of the best action scenes I had seen on film to that point (around 1998). This also was a good movie to play on a surround system.

Heroic wonderful experience underrated about a toxic waste accident in a New York tunnel focused on saving on the ones left. Rob Cohen directed this which did the original Fast and the furious and XXX so that's really cool to at least give Daylight a chance knowing that. There's some wild stunts, unfortunate losses, cool effects, and great entertainment!
