the leading man is my tpye

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

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.

Joining the spate of 1990s natural disaster films ("Twister," "Dante's Peak," "Armageddon," "The Perfect Storm," etc.) Sylvester Stallone has to rescue a group of people trapped in a NYC tunnel collapse. Yep, that's pretty much it. Sly fends off raging water, explosion, giant fans, and all manner of destruction while working to save a collection of New York character clichés. The film was directed by Rob Cohen, who gave us "XXX" and the original of the Fast and the Furious films, so he certainly knows his way around an action sequence, but the story and characters are so weak that the film is merely one set pieces followed by another. That's not necessarily a bad thing (it's essentially the formula for the Tom Cruise Mission Impossible films), but this film felt too formula and routine to really stand out. Supporting actors in the film included Amy Brenneman, Viggo Mortensen, Barry Newman, Dan Hedaya, Claire Bloom, Danielle Harris, and Stan Shaw. Meh.

This was a pretty decent action-disaster movie. It watches sort of like the 'Poseidon Adventure' with the survivors here trying to get out of the Holland tunnel after a huge explosion/fireball/cave-in blocks both exits. The group must then make their way through multiple obstacles as they get picked off one by one along the way. Its one of those movies where it becomes a guessing game as to who's going to get out of the movie alive. Always fun.Sylvester Stallone is our hero, playing an anti 'Rambo' normal everyday guy sort of character (albeit a disgraced EMS rescue-city planner- never did quite figure out his job title) but he doubts himself, makes mistakes and shows fear as he scrambles to save a dozen people from flooding, fire, dangling electrics, metal debris, rubble and general stupidity.The cast is made up of the usual suspects: older couple dog, young family with panicking mother, hero cop, some juvie criminals on their way to jail (sigh Sage Stallone) a rock climbing adrenaline junkie Viggo Mortensen (nice) and the love interest Amy Brenneman, a writer having a very bad day.'Daylight' is formulaic but its a fun watch and some of the stunts are pretty cool especially the one involving the fans (exhaust system) which was exciting. You could do worse. 12/22/15

Well i think this is sly's best action movie i mean it really is it just keeps you thrilled from the start of the movie till the end although it is a bit too dramatic but apart from that the director did great work the special effects are also good according to the year in which its made.The story is also good.So adding all things its a completely packed movie with good directing,acting,editing etc.Its also a family movie so you can watch it with your family so this movie has got no flaws in no department.So i would really recommend this movie to all action lovers. The main thing that's good about the movie is its special effect it has got all the special effects in it that's available in 1997 and it also has that good acting that creates a kind of atmosphere and gets you deep into the movie.
