Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Lars Lendale Yeah this is a really bad script and directed movie mostly intended for TV on a boring sunday afternoon. From the credits to the ending, the movie just fails. It's a cast of washed up and discount actors, Amy Brenneman can't act. As for Sylvester Stallone, I'm sorry, the guy can't speak fluent english. I had to put on the subtitles ! I just don't understand what he's saying and it's not the only aspect of this movie I don't get....I don't understand the entire movie !Between the poor characterization, the generic stereotypes which tells you the writer really didn't fetch far his ideas -- the fact that they are all introduced the wrong way but yet somehow the lead actor doesn't have any ! We have no idea who Latura is and where he comes from, there's no background on this guy and we discover along the way bits and parts of his character. Bad writing.The direction is bad -- the scenes are poorly shot. The stunt of the car driven by thieves that crashes into the truck full of chemical explosives is terribly shot -- we don't really see how the car managed to fly into the tanks. There's too much use of replay, quick movement or slow pace. There's no soundtrack. The quality is quite dusty, cinematography mediocre at best, the movie looks more like it was made in 1986 rather than 1996. Then the plot is weird, this character police security officer George appears from the beginning but he dies half way point ! Why ? Why spend all that time with him and then kill him half way point, makes no sense. So many elements make no sense. Why do some cars explode including the windows but others don't, how is it possible that some survived in such an accident and of course naturally a former super trained rescuer is right on the location of the accident, how fortunate. But I don't get it, he says he knows a way out, then he tells Madelyne he never had a plan and simply jumped in to rescue them and hoped to freelance a way out. For what ?! To go between four ventilators and all this trouble ? That makes no sense. But then he actually remembers of a chamber they can reach to, manages to fall off a ladder and then retreats backwards and I don't know, finds a way to escape on the surface of the river ! The best part however, is perhaps witnessing Latura and Madelyne fighting with electric current ! I don't think I've seen a movie where electric current was so easily wrestled down, considering there's fuel and water all over the place. There's only a few feel-good moments to kind of make-up for a totally improbable unrealistic picture. Just try and think about the number of people in the world who could actually do what Latura does in it without any help or equipment. It's ridiculous. Add to that lousy acting where all the characters take turns to speak and Latura pleading George to breath into an artificial tube and then funny-haha ending where he says "Yeah but let's make sure we take the bridge this time!"But the biggest disappointment is that once again, this movie is a big budget, and the potential was never materialized. It's just a waste of money and time. Just another proof Stallone can't write, can't direct and can't act.

Python Hyena Daylight (1996): Dir: Rob Cohen / Cast: Sylvester Stallone, Amy Brenneman, Dan Hedaya, Jay O' Sanders, Claire Bloom: Familiar disaster formula right down to the final guess. On the physical sense the title regards a subway tunnel but it also can reference hope, which is something that anyone expecting a decent film, can forget. Sylvester Stallone plays a former cop who puts his life on the line to rescue civilians trapped in a collapse subway tunnel. Directed by Rob Cohen who made Dragonheart the same year, but unlike that film, this contains nothing not even in its production values that we haven't seen many times before. The plot is completely recycled and totally dull. Stallone does all of the thinking because he is the hero, and everyone else is suppose to lay on their lazy asses while he does all the work. Amy Brenneman is involved in a stupid scene where she struggles with a live cable. She is suppose to be the hinted romantic interest, as if we care. The rest of the cast are hopeless onlookers who cannot think for themselves but they all make time to bitch at Stallone who is at least making an attempt to better the situation. Quite frankly, having that live cable inserted up my anal track might be more pleasant than watching this film. This is basically a filler film that should fill someone's garbage can. With that kind of ambition it is a wonder that the script saw daylight at all. Score: 2 / 10

Thanos Karagioras "Daylight" is an action movie in which after some explosions a tunnel of New York collapse and many people trapped. One of these people will be the hero of this movie and we watch his attempts to find a way to save them all.It's a nice action movie for your spare time but nothing more. When you decide to watch a movie like this you close your eyes on the interpretations of the cast and you simple watch a movie. About the effects now I have to say that it did not amaze me because it's an old movie so the competition was pretty unfair. For the time that it filmed it was pretty good.To sum up I believe that "Daylight" is a nice movie to watch but in my opinion it would not be my first option to watch if I would be among others to choose.

Scarecrow-88 Stallone's one and only disaster film is perfect popcorn entertainment. Like the great disaster films of yore, there are fun parts in the supporting cast, regarding those trapped in a tunnel to New Jersey after a "toxic explosion", with former EMS Chief Stallone trying to lead them out of harm's way as numerous hurdles present themselves causing one terrible situation after another, sacrifices made, courage needed by all if they are to survive. Sure the music telegraphs and manipulates the audience telling us when we are to gasp, to cry, to cheer, but Daylight really establishes just the kind of movie star Stallone is. Battling the elements, like cold water, collapsing debris from with inside the tunnel, constant explosions and quakes, heroism and suspense are in great supply. This movie is designed to toy with your emotions as most disaster movies, infighting and outbursts, death and the proposition of death, trying to find a way out when all hope seems lost, and the rescue of a trapped policeman, caught under a car, as well as, having to accept loss and regretting decisions made when no other options seemed available—Daylight provokes response from the viewer in a way disaster movies often do. Stallone has a demanding role, especially asking of his physicality, including scenes where he must incite belief from the bickering multitude of survivors to keep the faith even when events transpiring seem to indicate certain doom.Cast includes Amy Brenneman (who has a harrowing scene involving a loose cable shooting off electrical sparks), Viggo Mortensen (as a cocky climber celebrity who oozes charisma, but his confidence gets the best of him despite Stallone's warnings to leave a dangerous area certain to avalanche), Dan Hedaya (as Stallone's superior who triggered his firing), Jay O Sanders, Karen Young, and Danielle Harris (as a family under tumult), Claire Bloom (The Haunting) and Colin Fox (as an elderly couple still mourning the loss of their son), and Stan Shaw as George, the policeman who has a gut-wrenching emotional scene where his fate is sealed, causing Stallone to make a devastating choice. There are other characters like prisoners from a bus carrying them, and the various people involved in trying to find a way to get the trapped out of their predicament. Built as a roller-coaster, edge-of-your-seat entertainment, and succeeds, I believe. One of Stallone's more unappreciated 90s films, along with "Cop Land" and "Assassins". As what occurs in other disaster pictures, there are casualties, not surprising considering the situation itself.
