Featured review
In the 90's the disaster movie had a mini comeback for a couple of years, but being the 90's they all pretty much played out like action hero flicks.
Daylight had Stallone heading up the man muscle, which is one of the movies plus points, he is a master of stunt work and he spends most of the movie tackling the ultimate underground assault course.
The group of survivors have a handful of your usual stereotypes and it's pretty easy to spot the obvious, 'you'll be squashed later', characters, but there are still a few surprises for other cast members that don't make it.
The movie falls a bit flat with these characters though as although it's a pretty large ensemble, they're all very quickly introduced to get the action going early on and are hyper versions of themselves throughout.
That said the character mix works well to get the plot moving, the action sequences are great and there's enough plot to keep you entertained until the end.
Daylight is definitely at the top of the 90's disaster game, (it's certainly no awful Volcano), and it's worth a watch on Netflix, it's just to 90's in a bad way to make it a great movie.
