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

Oh wow, where do I start? The really bad acting...the silly plot...the unlikeable characters...the agonizing length? There's just so much to dislike about "Daylight". In fact, this movie is such a bomb that it's honestly not worth the time to write much more about it.

The DVD appeared in very good condition and sratch free, but for some reason would not play on either machine that I had. Notified the sender via email and got an immediate response by phone. He did not have another copy to send so he immediately refunded my money which I received in a matter of days. The sender was very nice and I would purchase from him again. The star rating I gave was for the senders prompt response and professionalism.

"Daylight" is my second favorite disaster flick. "The Poseidon Adventure" (the original version) is my all time favorite. "Daylight" mimics "The Poseidon Adventure" in many ways. Both films deal with a group of disaster survivors trapped beneath water. In "Daylight," it is a collapsed tunnel rather than the luxury liner of "The Poseidon Adventure." The survivors must battle rising water, electrical cables, flames, rats, and crumbling walls and staircases as they escape from the tunnel.
Kit Latura (action adventure icon Sylvester Stallone) is a renegade lone wolf who is much like Reverend Scott of "The Poseidon Adventure." Latura, a former emergency medical chief, is determined to rescue the tunnel survivors and get them to daylight. His romantic interest is a struggling playwright, Madelyne Johnson (Amy Brenneman of "Judging Amy"). Other survivors include a group of juvenile delinquents, an elderly couple who've lost their son and are obsessed with keeping his dog alive, and a vacationing family that is trying to mend its broken relationships. Most importantly, there is a tunnel security officer who is desperate to see his fellow employee/girlfriend; he wants to ask her to marry him.
The characterization in "Daylight," as it is in "The Poseidon Adventure," is excellent. The viewer will fall in love with the characters. I wept whenever one of them died as I did when Mrs. Rosen (Shelley Winters) suffered a fatal heart attack in "The Poseidon Adventure." Both movies are about surviving so that we can continue to love. Through love, we find the strength and desire to live. It is love that makes life worth living. It is love that keeps us bound to others even if we are separated by water, flames, and death. This is all clearly expressed in the terrific theme song "Whenever There Is Love" sung by superstars Donna Summer and Bruce Roberts. I love that song; once you get it in your head, it's hard to get out. It is as lovely as "The Morning After," the theme song from "The Poseidon Adventure," which also deals with love helping us find a way to safety.
"Daylight" is highly recommended for fans of Sylvester Stallone. It proved that he can act without having to expose his muscular physique as in "Rocky" and "Rambo." This clean, family friendly movie is also highly recommended for fans of disaster flicks such as "Earthquake, "The Towering Inferno," and the aforementioned "The Poseidon Adventure."
