The Tunnel

was decent enough, I mean the plot was basic but entertainig

A schlocky disaster movie that provides as much heart felt sentiment as a root canal.

Another good Nordic disaster movie.

At first I wasn't especially interested in this film - its not exactly choc filled with explosions and other visual effects to keep you gripped to the screen but the characters are pretty well developed and the story is put across in such a way, with various peoples different backgrounds put into play, that as a viewer your still intrigued enough to keep watching, to see what the outcome is. I liked that there are some statistics at the start, which makes you realise that such things can and do happen, if only on ocassion, in such tunnel type locations. I thought the cast did a decent job and by the end of the film, I was almost surprised how curious/anxious I was. It did feel pretty realistic and that makes it more intriguing. It won't appeal to everyone but I thought this film was pretty good, if unremarkable, its worth a watch overall, yes.

Truly awful film! Terrible dialogue, annoying characters, amateurish acting and totally unconvincing set pieces all add up to a most irritating experience. You will find by around half way through (if you last that long), that you just want it to end. Avoid!

It's weird how Norway have specifically designed their road tunnel systems to allow disaster films to happen. Like who thought those designs were a good idea? 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.

La prima caratteristica di questo film che esce allo scoperto è il suo coraggio nell'incentrarsi su un tema assolutamente complesso da portare sullo schermo. Un incidente all'interno di un lungo tunnel sotterraneo scatena l'inferno, il racconto si sviluppa bene, raccontando la storia da diversi punti di vista. Qualche ovvia forzatura per rendere il tutto più avvincente e le due sequenze degli incidenti stradali non proprio ben fatte. Non c'era forse il bisogno di inserire i classici drammi familiari già visti troppe volte.

Really held my attention
