The cliches here were tired 30 years ago when it came out but the real problem is that the set-up is so dull. There's only so much you can do with a collapsing tunnel.

It’s not meant to be clever or groundbreaking. This is simply mindless, thrilling action, which serves its purpose nicely. Stallone shows some pretty decent acting ability here. Don’t go in expecting finesse, art or creativity. Go in expecting explosions and impending disaster and an average tough guy swooping in to save the day.

A very entertaining disaster movie that kept your attention throughout the films run time.

Sylvester Stallone starts in a diaster movie where he helps a group of people get to higher ground and does his best to Kee everyone alive . The storyline is there's a huge flood that's causing a lot of people in the city to drown . So Stallone helps people find a way out of there so they can live and get to safety . It's a decent diaster movie . The action is good at times and you can grasp the storyline pretty well. But it's definitely not better then the day after tomorrow . Parents guide / Christian perspective Violence : moderate violence and peril involving waves of water . Few people die in this film from drowning and a few kids get slight injuries . Possibly 1 or 2 explosions . Language : several uses of hell and damn . One or two sobs and an ass . Two gd words and 1 JC word. No f words though . Sex : none Nudity : none

It's pretty standard stuff when it comes to disaster movies. The music is super forgettable. There is too many forgettable one dimensional characters that don't get enough devlopment. The first 20 minutes with the explosion is really good and the special effect and set design are the best things in this. But after that it slows down and never regains the franticness of the start with a lot of scenes that drag or are just boring. It feels like stuff just happens as they get out and Stallone really is in only half the film and doesn't get much backstory. What's weird is a lot of scenes just feel like they drag on even the Stallone only ones. Besides that yeah it's pretty standard by the book stuff of the disaster movie genre. Unless your a die hard Stallone fan most people should skip this.

Definitely a unique story that felt relatable since we take that tunnel all the time in NYC. It had some thrilling moments.

This disaster movie was great. Sylvester Stallone, Amy Brenneman, Viggo Mortensen, Jay O. Sanders, Sage Stallone, Danielle Harris, Stan Shaw, Colin Fox, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. The plot of the movie was intense, dramatic, and insane. It's about doing everything you can to save people trapped underground and bringing them home alive. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's worth watching. Don't listen to the bad reviews this movie has gotten, everyone that said that this is a bad movie has terrible tastes in movies. They can't see why this is a great movie.

Obra prima um dos melhores filmes já feitos, atemporal!!!

It has no surprises but is still entertaining enough.

Loved this movie! I never knew Stallone was a solid actor and the action sequences were also captivating. The character development and everyone coming together to survive was a delight to watch.

Was this necessary? Really?

It was very entertaining, the cameras takes weren't that good but, particularly, the explosion scene is amazing, of course it has it flaws, mainly in the dress and the illumination but it's a great movie to watch on Sunday

Still good after 25 years, not sure why the rating so low. Really enjoy everyday guy hero story midst of man-made disaster. Kit is absolutely nuts, totally crazy & out of his mind; modern day Indiana Jones. What kind of toxic waste are those? Nuclear?

Underrated, according to these tomatoes, Die Hard should not be belittled, but this is what movies are about. Stallone is not a superhero and has to go to the hospital after the credits, or else he would have been a superhero. In which case, this would not be a believable movie despite the unity of time, place, and action.

The critics are delusional. This is a great movie 🍿

Malgré une très belle explosion initiale et un Sylvester Stallone en grande forme, Daylight n'est jamais vraiment plus qu'un simple film catastrophe cousu de fil blanc, beaucoup trop long et terriblement premier degré. C'est dommage car le casting est de qualité (Stan Shaw et Jay O. Sanders sont particulièrement appréciables) et certaines setpieces sont très réussies, comme l'évasion finale ou le sauvetage d'Amy Brenneman avec les fils électriques mais Daylight ne peut éviter son ventre mou où les personnages s'hurlent dessus sans faire avancer l'intrigue. Il n'empêche que Rob Cohen n'est pas un manchot quand il s'agit d'être spectaculaire et que cela sauve régulièrement le film de sa torpeur. Mais à l'image du personnage de Stallone, le film aurait pu gagner à être un peu plus léger.

It's overacted, tense, stressful, loud, and relentless... but it works. As a fraught action movie from the mid-90's, it's a perfect fit with others of its ilk. Stallone is brilliant - less intense, and more sincere than I remember him being

Movie was way too stretched out. Stallone was a great pick for the main protagonist, but other than that - nothing of value was gained. It's just another disaster movie.

This feels like fresh air compared to the mediocre action movies that Netflix releases. That 90s feeling that you can perceive in the direction, the music and Stallone never giving up is so jolly! Cheesy and Charming, just the way I like it. Viggo Mortensen deserved better Never left the dog behind

I think this is a perfect example of a movie that can just be described as "fine". It's fine. I watched it for the first time since its original release last night and although I knew I had watched it before I had retained almost nothing from it. Certain images felt vaguely familiar but that's honestly it. No plot twists, character fates, or details stuck with me and now I'm reminded of why. It's just fine. There's nothing objectively bad about it. It's really just fine.
