This echo of 1970s disaster films stars Sylvester Stallone as the disgraced former head of New York City's Emergency Medical Services, a loser who is nevertheless a compulsive rescuer of people in danger. When the Holland Tunnel is sealed off after a fiery explosion and car passengers are trapped within, he goes inside and leads a group of survivors (a mixed group allegorically representing America's diversity) through all manner of pestilence toward safety. Directed by the imaginative Rob Cohen (Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story), Daylight finds Stallone outrageously (and to almost campy effect) pushing the envelope of his martyr persona to near-religious levels. He throws himself, quite literally, into this part, and between that entertainment factor and the unnervingly convincing effects, this is a pretty watchable film. --Tom Keogh

 Great Stallone Movie July 29, 2008
I bought this movie because I thought that the HD would be a lot better than the regular DVD. Like many other HD and blu-ray movies I've seen, most of the scenes are not that much sharper than the regular DVD but the color and sound are better so I can't complain too much. I am also running these on a Sony 40" LCD which may have some to do with that.
 HD DVD is nothing special April 9, 2008
This is a particular hi-def release that shows some improvement, but lacks the sparkle or brilliance of similiar aged catalog titles on HD DVD. Good for someone looking for a popcorn flick in reasonable quality, but not worth the upgrade in my opinion.
 Great Movie and Great Disk October 28, 2007

Daylight is a High Definition DVD, and the picture is awesome. While, some people complain about grain, but it was filmed on film, so grain should be there. What I truely enjoy is that with the many explosions, there isn't any compression artifacts. It looks as HDTV should look. A big plus in my book. The Movie is great too. The store is based much on facts even if the story is fiction. The root nugget is a chemical explosion in the Holland Tunnel from the 1940s. I fully enjoyed the movie and even watched the commentary. High Recommend.
What if those tunnels under the water collapse September 29, 2007
Sly Stallione at his best again. A under-water tunnel collapses and Sly has to save the day. He is up against flooding water, bombs, at group of people who all depend on him to save the day and he is just as overwhelmed as they are but he rise to the occassion and wins the day. Wonderful movie, except for the death of certain loved ones in the movie. You laugh for happiness, cry for unexpected tradgey and cheer for the ending.
A great movie.
