The Tunnel

But really raise the fears of going through long mountain and undersea road tunnels. i felt the hairs in my neck coldfreezing and the summit of fear and action so theyve managed to make a reliable and close to reality pandemonistic human tragedy inside a hole in norwegian rocks.

its a bit slow, and the plot and key caracters are to some extent mediocre, and some of the advisory aint correct, so do not use in a case of emergency. filming and effects though are very nice, some of the soundwork eminent but not all. east and west is hard to say, and could easily have been told somewhere in the plot.acting is plain average, nothing extraordinary.

but its a great film for the saturday pizza party, once in a while you forget that youre in your own living room watching this film, so therefore a recommend from the grumpy old man

In any incident it is critical that there be a clearly established chain of command and that that chain be respected and followed. This movie glorifies the opposite - a bunch on individual first responders who act like cowboys, free-lancing and disregarding orders and protocols. As an occasional first responder myself, the more I watched it the angrier I got. The type of individual actions glorified in this film would, in any well-run emergency unit, result in immediate suspension if not termination - or at least I hope they would.

I live in Latin America, where improvisation is an art, but not even down here people would act so stupidly and cowardly. Nobody obeyed anybody... and that includes the authorities! So, this would not happen in one of the most organized countries in the world. No way José!

This film had promise with the beautiful snowy Norwegian landscapes and claustrophobic tunnel setting but unfortunately it's just incredibly dull. Looks like Daylight will continue to reign supreme in the niche tunnel-based disaster genre.

It's Norway during the Christmas season. Snowplows are clearing the road after a snow storm. A fuel truck gets stuck deep inside a long tunnel. Traffic is backed up and then the truck explodes.

This is a Norwegian disaster movie. I actually like most the part right before the fire. There is a sense of tension as the anticipation of the big explosion mounts. The issue with the fire is the smoke. It makes everything hard to see. The movie does a poor job laying out the map despite its simplicity. I just don't know where that anybody is located. It seems like a simple idea to back up slowly. At first, these guys are driving like maniacs and then they just don't try. Sadly, it's not like the audience can see much even if they do try. The first half has too much back story for these characters and the second half is not compelling enough. As such, it's a passable disaster movie.
