Movie Reviews of Daylight

Movie Review: Whenever There Is Love, There Is Hope For Escape
Summary: 5 Stars

"Daylight" is my second favorite disaster flick. "The Poseidon Adventure" (the original version) is my all time favorite. "Daylight" mimics "The Poseidon Adventure" in many ways. Both films deal with a group of disaster survivors trapped beneath water. In "Daylight," it is a collapsed tunnel rather than the luxury liner of "The Poseidon Adventure." The survivors must battle rising water, electrical cables, flames, rats, and crumbling walls and staircases as they escape from the tunnel.

Kit Latura (action adventure icon Sylvester Stallone) is a renegade lone wolf who is much like Reverend Scott of "The Poseidon Adventure." Latura, a former emergency medical chief, is determined to rescue the tunnel survivors and get them to daylight. His romantic interest is a struggling playwright, Madelyne Johnson (Amy Brenneman of "Judging Amy"). Other survivors include a group of juvenile delinquents, an elderly couple who've lost their son and are obsessed with keeping his dog alive, and a vacationing family that is trying to mend its broken relationships. Most importantly, there is a tunnel security officer who is desperate to see his fellow employee/girlfriend; he wants to ask her to marry him.

The characterization in "Daylight," as it is in "The Poseidon Adventure," is excellent. The viewer will fall in love with the characters. I wept whenever one of them died as I did when Mrs. Rosen (Shelley Winters) suffered a fatal heart attack in "The Poseidon Adventure." Both movies are about surviving so that we can continue to love. Through love, we find the strength and desire to live. It is love that makes life worth living. It is love that keeps us bound to others even if we are separated by water, flames, and death. This is all clearly expressed in the terrific theme song "Whenever There Is Love" sung by superstars Donna Summer and Bruce Roberts. I love that song; once you get it in your head, it's hard to get out. It is as lovely as "The Morning After," the theme song from "The Poseidon Adventure," which also deals with love helping us find a way to safety.

"Daylight" is highly recommended for fans of Sylvester Stallone. It proved that he can act without having to expose his muscular physique as in "Rocky" and "Rambo." This clean, family friendly movie is also highly recommended for fans of disaster flicks such as "Earthquake, "The Towering Inferno," and the aforementioned "The Poseidon Adventure."

Movie Review: Divine Unity!
Summary: 5 Stars

A freak accident involving a couple of burglars who crash into some chemical tanks makes a New York tunnel collapse. A group of survivors work together to find a way out of the tunnel. After numerous attempts to find a hole out, they run out of luck. But wait, an ultimate deity named Kit Latura (played by Sylvester Stallone) comes to their aid. Lucky for them that an immortal was willing to help. He goes through many obstacles to get to them and helps them get out. Some of them perish along the way out and Stallone gets rueful. Sorrow! Of course he makes it at the end and the rest of the survivors are happy. How grateful they should be! I would've definitely got ten autographs from Stallone for his rescue. Pure lordage. Talk about a man who cares for his community. The teamwork that was performed in this picture was divine unity. Rob Cohen the director, went on to direct "Dragonheart," "The Fast and the Furious," and "XXX" with Vin Diesel. Stallone went on to make more genius works of art.

Movie Review: Sender very cooperative
Summary: 5 Stars

The DVD appeared in very good condition and sratch free, but for some reason would not play on either machine that I had. Notified the sender via email and got an immediate response by phone. He did not have another copy to send so he immediately refunded my money which I received in a matter of days. The sender was very nice and I would purchase from him again. The star rating I gave was for the senders prompt response and professionalism.
