About This Movie

Daylight is one of those action thrillers that really leans into its ridiculous premise. Rob Cohen directs with a brisk pace, and you can sense the '90s vibe throughout. Stallone plays Kit Latura, a former emergency worker, and he brings a certain gravitas to the chaos. The practical effects of the tunnel collapse are impressive; they really pop compared to today's CGI-heavy fare. The tension builds nicely, but it’s the claustrophobic atmosphere that really gets you. It’s not just about the explosions—though there are plenty—it’s also about survival in a confined space where every decision matters. The supporting cast adds to the urgency, making it a wild ride from start to finish.
