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. The collector's edition DVD release has optional widescreen and standard (pan and scan) versions, optional Spanish subtitles, and Dolby soundtrack. --Tom Keogh

Daylight.......2007-05-10

Excellent old classic. Was real happy to see it again on a big plasma TV and surround sound. It rocks!!

Absolutely nothing new here,but it sure was fun.......2007-04-06

I count this one as a guilty pleasure. It's a run of the mill disaster movie, but it's told with such visual style and gusto that it's easy to over look the weak spots. Even Sly kicks his game up a notch or two and sells the movie.
It seems that a very bad chemical company wants several truck loads of explosive waste taken away but doesn't want to pay the cost of getting rid of it the right way, so they hire some guys and ship it out on trucks that have to drive through New York City to get rid of it. Add jewel thieves in a high speed chase from cops and the Holland Tunnel and before you can say Irwin Allen you have a spectalular explosion and people trapped in a flooding tunnel with no way out and the walls coming down around them. Enter Sly as a former EMT(disgraced but it really wasn't his fault) and you know who's going in to save the day.
Like I said nothing new but Sly keeps this one on track and the director keeps the pace so tight that it pulls you in(at least it did me). Top flight action scenes and a pretty good cast make this one a very good rainy day movie.

ROCKY GOES UNDERGROUND.......2005-05-04

DAYLIGHT is everything you'd expect it to be as it joins the genre of disaster films of the seventies. Sylvester Stallone is a noble, almost saintly, hero, and we get a mixed bag of trapped people in the Holland Tunnel. Director Rob Cohen wisely focuses on the disaster and its aftermath and leaves the stereotypical characters to respond in expected ways. But what a cataclysmic set of special effects! The car crashes and resultant explosions are terrific and incredibly filmed. That alone is one reason to watch the film. Much of Stallone's heroics are implausible, but in a film like this, we are indeed holding out for a hero. The supporting cast is eclectic and adequate: a pre Lord of the Rings Viggo Mortensen is some kind of adventurer whose self-importance is his downfall; Jay O. Sanders, Karen Young and Danielle Harris are the troubled family; Stan Shaw is the heroic but doomed cop; Dan Hedaya is the loyal ex-partner; Amy Brenneman is the frustrated writer who becomes Stallone's romantic interest; the lovely Claire Bloom and Colin Fox are the elderly couple with the dog; and even Stallone's son, Sage, gets in on the action. Nothing new here, folks, but it is well done and the effects are awesome.

Flames! Explosions! Disaster strikes NY.......2005-05-03

Daylight is a traditional "disaster in New York" story, with Sylvester Stallone playing the fired Chief who redeems himself by saving people from a tunnel collapse. Given that short blurb, you can probably now plot out the entire movie, from start to finish :)

First, you go through the traditional "meet all the characters" scenes. There are fractured families, an older couple, a young struggling author, a prison transport. Throw in some unscrupulous toxic chemical transporters and a trio of insane diamond thieves, and the disaster is telegraphed from the beginning. There's no surprise, and no sense of "story" as it begins. It is very blatantly a "let's see each person start as selfish / uncaring so we can watch them grow".

Then BOOM! One thing you can say for this movie is that it has some pretty cool special effects. The scenes of the fiery blast shooting through the tunnel and taking it down are pretty impressive. We went back on the DVD and watched that part again. Even while we were watching it, though, we were pretty incredulous that anybody in that blast would have survived enough to let the movie continue. We've seen enough disaster recreations on TV to know what that type of fireball does to people. But of course, this is Hollywood, and while most people are completely slain, you end up with about 12 people trapped within the tunnel who are all perfectly able to walk and talk. There's nobody in between. Hmmmmmm.

While Stallone goes through some insanely silly moves through moving fans to get IN to the troubled group, Viggo Mortensen gets his moment to shine as Nord (yes, that's really his name), the mountain climber / rich company leader. Nord is shown as a blondeish (of course) super-sure-of-himself man who has taken on every challenge in life. Luckily, Nord is trapped in the tunnel with all his rock climbing equipment. So he tells everyone he is going to save them, tells them to pray, and heads up into a shaft to climb out. Stallone tries to warn Nord that the shaft is shaky, and for some boneheaded reason, Nord's response is "don't worry, I'm invincible!" OK, he doesn't quite say that, but he doesn't pay attention to the creaks and groans of the area around him. It is really hard to believe that someone as successful as Nord in extreme situations would have possible not gone more cautiously into this current one. Sure enough, Stallone is correct, Nord is squished, and Viggo's light is put out.

Stallone then quickly goes on to do even MORE ridiculous things than Nord was attempting, but of course being the hero, Stallone's various efforts work out pretty nicely.

I realize of course that the movie aims to show how everyone deals with stress poorly and then finally bands together as a team to help each other out, but it was REALLY annoying how certain characters kept turning into insane complainers. Sure, there will be one or two whiners in a crowd. But I think it was way overblown here. Instead of having the movie one where we could sympathize with the characters going "against the odds" - you really wanted to see most of the characters killed off. Quickly. Surprisingly, they really do kill off far more characters than one would expect in a movie like this.

But, of course, the Guy Gets the Girl, and enough people survive to make the whole ordeal worth it. Unfortunately, the movie ends with perhaps one of the worst ending lines ever made in a movie. You'll have to wait and judge that one for yourself.

A fun disaster flick with some great fiery moments - just don't expect compelling character development or much of a plot in this one. And as a safety note, contrary to what the movie says, the reason you want to be in a car during an electrical storm is NOT that the tires are rubber. Studies show that the amount of rubber on a tire is completely meaningless when compared with a bolt of lightning. It's the metal cage of the car that protects you from the electrical strike.

Just for the HOLLAND TUNNLE alone!.......2005-04-05

I literally live right next to the Holland Tunnle so I had to give this 5 stars even though it's your basic hollywood wizz bang flick with bad acting. Great special effects!

Product Description

Southern Pacific Class GS-4 #4449 stars in this 1989 video presentation. The famous red, orange, and black 4-8-4 makes a run to Los Angeles for the Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal celebration. First we see the engine in Portland at the roundhouse and turning on the turntable prior to the run. Then we follow the 4449 and a short train for two days from Portland to Klamath Falls, and then on toward Oakland. Highlights are scenes in the Cascades, and the morning shot a Warden with one of the best reflection shots in the water we have ever made. At Oakland more cars are added for the excursion to Santa Barbara, where we see some nice scenes along the Pacific at Surf, California. The last day 4449 runs to Los Angeles, capped by a side-by-side performance next to Union Pacific 4-8-4 #8444 entering LA Union Station. Next we see the display diesels at the depot, and the departure of both trains up Cajon Pass as they storm the grade side-by-side once more as throngs of spectators watch the event. Then we follow 4449 to Bakersfield, and the last day on to Fresno. There is a nice cab ride from Black Butte to Dunsmuir(some 60 MPH), and some good pacing scenes north of Bakersfield to make this an action-packed video of one of the most famous U.S. engines.

don't be fooled. This is NOT part of the TV series "The Pretender" starring Michael T. Wiess. I ordered it believing it to be a TV movie of the series and turned out it isn't even close! I wish someone had put in a warning before I ordered this DVD as I am now attempting to get a full refund due to the lack of good information on the item.
