Despite having to wade through no end of sigh-inducing clich�s, Sly actually comes off better here than many of his co-stars, a rather unfortunate result of...bit-part actors who may well have been dragged off the street and paid in ham sandwiches.

This is a nineties disaster flick that deserves more attention...

A disaster flick about a group of New Yorkers trapped in the Holland tunnel.

You know something is wrong when Stallone actually gives one of the best performances in the picture.

Overwought and thinly sketched disaster flick but buoyed by a cast that delivers better than decent performances. Stallone, Mortensen, and Bloom are standouts.
