Daylight Reviews
supplies plenty of bombast when the disaster strikes (the initial explosion in the tunnel is particularly spectacular), although things feel sluggish when characters talk too much
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 1, 2025
The survivors are a shrill, ungrateful lot, so Latura might as well have stayed home and watched Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot for the umpteenth time.

If you've seen Stallone in action movies, you've seen this character before.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 10, 2025
It is mediocre to be sure, but really this sort of average, breezy entertainment remains in short supply 30 years down the track.

One of his final roles that managed some box office clout was in Daylight, a derivative disaster flick that has few actual thrills.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 12, 2022
...a solid entry within the disaster-movie canon.

As Daylight and other recent thrillers prove, it's much easier to create synthetic disasters, tornadoes, dinosaurs and dragons than it is to create sympathetic, believable human beings.

Despite having to wade through no end of sigh-inducing clichs, Sly actually comes off better here than many of his co-stars, a rather unfortunate result of...bit-part actors who may well have been dragged off the street and paid in ham sandwiches.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 10, 2011
This is a nineties disaster flick that deserves more attention...

Still more millennial fear and commuter angst get routed through this toll-heavy disaster vehicle set in New York's Holland Tunnel--call it The Tunneling Inferno.
| Sep 5, 2009
A lower-echelon disaster thriller, in which the best character is knocked off early on and the leading man runs out of ideas with a third of the picture still to go.

Cohen keeps the vehicle cruising in fourth gear, hoping the audience won't get too impatient with the familiar scenery. Big, efficient, mindless entertainment.
| Jan 26, 2006
The best of the 1990s disaster-flick revivals, and certainly a solid effort by the usual standards of its star (Stallone) and its hack director (Rob Cohen).

You know something is wrong when Stallone actually gives one of the best performances in the picture.
