One of Sly's best performances
posted on 29 Apr 2009Fasten your seatbelts and brace yourself for an non-stop thrill ride that will have you holding your breath from start to finish."Daylight" is one of the most intense movies I have seen in a long time. Sylvester Stallone gives one of his best performances in "Daylight" leading a group of civilians to safety after a New York tunnel engulfs in flames. Stallone works his magic as a former EMS chief sent in to save these civilians.When I heard Stallone's name mentioned as part of the cast of "Daylight," I knew it would be a non-stop thrill ride; however, what I didn't realize it would be a thriller that had depth mixed in with everything else. "Daylight" is a credit to Stallone's ability and this remains one of his best roles to date.Adding to this awesome film are Stallone's co-stars, which include Amy Brenneman, Viggo Mortensen, Jay O. Sanders and Stan Shaw. I enjoyed watching this ensemble work together because they seem to need no direction when on screen. It was as if they were really trapped in the tunnel. From the fear to the heroic actions they took, these actors were top notch.Despite most thrillers, "Daylight" stands out as being the finest assembled film. The casting works like magic, the special effects are magnificent and the script is perfect.I concede that "Daylight" is predictable. However, I disagree with those who say it hurts the film. My point is it doesn't matter whether a film is predictable, rather how it is presented. "Daylight" is presented with quite unique special effects, a plot with depth and endearing performances.In addition to the excellent performances, "Daylight" had some of the best special effects I have seen. The explosion at the beginning of the movie was a work of art. I was in awe of how well the special effects were pulled off because I don't believe that "Daylight" would have worked as well as it did if they were done with less than 100 percent effort."Daylight" will keep you on the edge of your seat and have you holding your breath hoping these citizens come out alive.
Go watch "The Poseidon Adventure" instead
posted on 07 Feb 2009A tunnel to New Jersey collapses. People are trapped inside and surprise, surprise, Stallone has to rescue them. This is pretty run of the mill stuff, not bad, but not particularly good either. Sometimes it's tought to understand what's happening next because it's very hard to always comprehend what Stallone is saying, but what's new?The Italian Stallion said at the time that if this film was a flop it would be his last action flick ever, so Sly, I'm still waiting to see you in a new version of Hamlet.
Competent disaster flick. Nothing out of the ordinary, but watchable.
posted on 12 Dec 2008The disaster movie genre lay dormant for a decade and a half, but in the mid-90s it came back with a vengeance. Daylight is Sylvester Stallone's contribution to the cycle, a big-budget, claustrophobic tale of a tunnel blockage which owes a lot to a forgotten TV movie called Short Walk To Daylight. A car crash in an underwater traffic tunnel causes an explosion. Worse still, a lorry carrying highly flammable materials gets caught up in the blaze. Within seconds, the incident has got so far out of hand that the whole tunnel is sealed off by wreckage and debris at both ends. Many of the people trapped inside are killed by the punishing flames. A handful of survivors remain, but cannot be sure if anyone from the outside world knows they're there. It's quite a hokey and improbable plot set-up, but once the various coincidences and mishaps have occurred the film settles down to become a reasonably competent disaster flick. Stallone enters as a rescuer named Kit Latura who has personal demons to overcome. He has a plan for getting into the tunnel to contact the survivors, but he has no route back out and so must win them over and lead them to safety by some other means. The characters in peril are lifted from stock, but within their limited and predictable dimensions they do at least make sense and get a good share of screen time. Some of the action sequences are well-staged, but there's a real shortage of variety in the hazards and dangers facing the survivors (after all, how many things can go wrong in so restrictive a location as a tunnel?) Daylight is a run-of-the-mill disaster yarn. Its visual and sound effects are more convincing than some of its 70s counterparts, but it doesn't really offer a compelling, ground-breaking plot and it doesn't really stretch itself with any new and interesting angles.

See if anything else is on first.
posted on 25 Oct 2008Think "Poseidon Adventure" in the Hudson Tunnel. Sylvester Stallone is Kit Latura, an ex-emergency medical chief. He is able to redeem himself when a bizarre traffic accident traps the usual bunch of formula characters in the Hudson Tunnel. One wonders what would happen if Bruce Willis or Steven Segal were among the people trapped.
A come together work together movie
posted on 11 Aug 2008Daylight is a movie of somewhat actual events. During the late 1940's, a truck with toxic chemicals ran head on into traffic in the Holland Tunnel which the fire only sealed one end of the tunnel and not the other. This movie is pretty much a movie about courage and togetherness. Though most of the film was not filmed in New York, some of it was actually filmed in my home state of New Jersey, which everytime I watch it I get thrilled to see my own state. I like all the characters in the movie. The movie has somewhat of a New York style in it, and especially heavy on the accent. These are one of the movies that keep you on the edge.
Predictable Overdramaization
posted on 30 Jul 2008If there is any sub genre of movies that is more predictable,more overly dramatic than these disaster movies with the hero things, then I am missing it. Whether it is Poseidan, Towering Inferno, Airport or any of the others leading to this, they are the same: Overly sensational, over acted and overly dramatic. This is good for about 5 minutes, but wears thin quickly thereafter. Someone nearly dies every time a piece of debris moves or a fly goes by (in concept). We have typical screaming women, the obligatory kid, and the guy who just doesn't get it and spends more time screaming at the hero than doing anything remotely useful like trying to help get out of the tunnel. This movie is a typical disaster disaster movie.
Yet another mid-90s disaster flick.
posted on 03 Jun 2008DAYLIGHT. A clichéd, tired mess of a movie starring Sylvester Stallone as a limo driver who gets caught with a bunch of other motorists in the Jersey tunnel when some trucks carrying toxic waste explode. It was pretty brainless although I was quite impressed with the sets - they had a somewhat archaic quality, especially those giant ventilation fans. That was about it, unfortunately. It was a very predictable movie which for the most part showed us things we've seen in countless other 90s disaster flicks. One and a half stars out of four.
pure dross
posted on 23 Mar 2008Can't believe I wasted two hours of my life watching this drivel. It simply failed on every level. And every time I see Viggo Mortensen's, ahem, less than stellar back catalog, I have to wonder what prompted Jackson to cast him in LOTR. The gamble sure paid off, he was a perfect Aragorn but as for his role in this, rarely have I seen an example of a character being completely pointless to a story's progression but then that's the trouble with this whole movie. There's very little point. The set up's poor, it never manages to get you emotionally evolved in the characters, so you're never that bothered that they're all in mortal danger and it's a singularly bad performance from Stallone. It leaves me to wonder why it ever saw daylight at all. My advice - give it a wide berth!!!
Sylvester Stallone and Claire Bloom
posted on 25 Feb 2008An opportunity for a classical actress to work with Sylvester Stallone. The film was fairly mundane, unoriginal, a lot of physical activity on Stallone's part, but not exciting enough to be called good. If he struck gold in the 70's and 80's with the 'Rocky' films, he certainly became a cog in the Hollywood wheel during the mid-nineties.
Stallone and lots of little-known people
posted on 26 Jan 2008Started off really well; pretty good disaster scenes, well shot and believable. People trapped in a tunnel - good characterisations, Stallone almost an anti-heroThen Hollywood schmaltz kicks in and it becomes yet another pointless, over-the-top, brainless disaster movie with a completely OTT and unrealistic finale
sly proves he is more versatile
posted on 11 Jan 2008This is an adventure film far different from other movies of Sylvester Stallone. In this story he plays a rescue worker , a paramedic who strives hard to rescue a group of motorists trapped in an under water road tunnel in Hudson river new york ,new jersey. Such movies also carries some lessons what should u must do if u re caught in in such a desperate situation , and how to calm your nerves and work together if u want to see the daylight of another morning. As far Stallone is concerned , i think his critics should be silent now that he cant play roles other than being Rambo , rocky , cobra ,assassins , lockup and other action packed thrillers. Stallone is an action super star with a very different approach , his characters some time are more focused on story and acting rather action. I always liked him more than Arnold Schwarzenegger, jean Claude van damme, chuck norris and especially Steven seagal. This is one of the most best performance of Stallone and on the hand a very gripping , interesting kind of film. This film is made for all ages of people.
Good
posted on 21 Nov 2007I liked this movie, I Love Sylvester Stallone, he is my favorite Actor. I Like his son Sage Stallone also, he is a cutie. I liked how Sylvester's Character helped the people in this movie, and he would not give up. He saved them. Sylvester Stallone is an Extraordinary Actor, he is a damn good Actor and I think his Son will turn out to be a great Actor also.
Quick Reviews!!
posted on 20 Aug 2007POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!Since everyone was making disaster movies in those days, and being trapped underground in the sewers wasn't a subject that had been tackled yet, Daylight was made.Stallone is an ex fire fighter, trapped with a group of people in a big tunnel, under threat from fire, water, and an imminent explosion which would destroy the section they are in. The film follows the reactions of the different characters, as they struggle with the loss of family members, of each other, with panic, and with the attempt to escape. The stunts and effects are pretty good, the script and plot are average, but the characters are likable enough so that we want to know who gets out and who dies. It's Stallone's movie, and he is okay in the role, Harris is excellent as always but has little to do, and Viggo is wildly different from his LOTR character, being a self interested false hero. A decent soundtrack help the movie, but it's just another attempted summer blockbuster. Not a bad film, and worth watching. 7 out of 10
It wasn't THAT bad
posted on 30 Jul 2007I think that the acting was as good as it could be for the people who were cast (Danielle Harris hasn't been good in ANYTHING that I have ever seen her in). There was someone who made a comment about how ungrateful the people where when Sly's character first went into rescue them... now think about it.. I think that the way they acted was insanely true to life. Most people in that situation would only be thinking about a way out of the tunnel. Granted the bickering lady that complained throughout the entire movie should have ended up a floating body in the water. For an action movie I give this movie 6/10 stars For script and acting it scores 5/10 but for overall enjoyment and the great SFX it scores 7/10NOT the worst two hours I've ever spent in front of my TV.
Sly's Nemesis
posted on 27 Jul 2007We haven't seen Sylvester Stallone in this much distress since Lock Up (1989) *deep sigh*, not least of all as he meets his arch-foe in this film. And it's not Donald Sutherland with a club. It's not Arnie, it's not some guy in a suit. Not David Carradine in a racing car, a man wearing boxing gloves, or even engaging children. Not a particularly difficult speech at an awards ceremony. It's a big, silly looking prop, which wouldn't have been out of place in the '60s Batman TV show. And it has a big, silly sounding introduction, establishing its reputation as something worthy of respect. Suffice to say, it tromps him, and it's all his character's fault for not treating it with enough respect. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why this movie is worth seeing.
Daylight!
posted on 12 Jul 2007Daylight is a great action film that has a great cast which includes Sylvester Stallone, Amy Brenneman, Viggo Mortensen, Dan Hedaya, Jay O. Sanders, Karen Young, Stan Shaw, Sage Stallone, Mark Rolston, and Nestor Serrano. The acting by all of these actors is very good. Sly Stallone is really excellent in this film. I thought that he performed good. The action is really good and some of it is incredible. The movie is filmed very good. The music is good by Randy Edelman. The film is very interesting and exciting and the movie really keeps you going until the last moment. This is a very good and thrilling film. If you like Sylvester Stallone, Amy Brenneman, Viggo Mortensen, Dan Hedaya, Jay O. Sanders, Karen Young, Stan Shaw, and the rest of the cast in the film, Action Thrillers, Dramas, and interesting films then I recommend this film!
The Holland Tunnel Adventure!
posted on 16 Jul 2009Once while being towed through the Holland Tunnel my old Ford lost a wheel that rolled placidly down the left lane before wobbling and flopping to a halt. It must have held up traffic for half an hour, but that's nothing compared to what happens to the Holland Tunnel in this typical disaster flick.Boy, if things can go wrong they surely will. Fortunately there is always the short chance of a last-minute escape, light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak, and only a few dispensable characters must be left behind to pump up the sentiment quotient that the formula requires.Some hazardous material blows up in the middle of the tunnel that links New York City and New Jersey. A huge fireball whooshes out of both ends of the traffic conduit, killing everyone except the handful of survivors who Sly Stallone, in his magnanimity, volunteers to reach from the outside and lead to safety.You've met most of these trapped characters in one form or another. There is the beautiful young woman, terrified but still able to make wisecracks and perform improbable physical feats. There is the heroic black cop mortally injured while saving others and begs them to leave him behind and save themselves. There is the antagonist, usually dumb, who pipes up at every roadblock to castigate the only leader who can save them. "This is IT? You told us you knew what you were doing!" There's the endangered child. There's the elderly couple who don't think they can make it and the old lady doesn't. (Cf., "The Poseidon Aventure," here and everywhere else.) The menace follows a predictable trajectory. First fire, then collapse, then monstrous rolling objects, then collapse, then water. At one point Stallone must slip through a series of three gargantuan exhaust fans, any one of which could slice and dice him if he doesn't get through it before his fourteen seconds run out. It's like playing a game in a video arcade.Still, it's diverting enough, if that's the sort of thing you're looking for. It's total lack of originality keeps it from being an Ideal Type, but so what? It's only a movie.
