Disgraced EMT chief-turned-cab driver Sylvester Stallone is trapped in the Hudson Tunnel after an explosion with an assortment of characters. He must lead them to safety before their air runs out. '90s version of a '70s disaster flick like The Poseidon Adventure. Nothing original but entertaining nonetheless. There are some laughable moments. One amusing part that stands out is when someone has to explain hypothermia to some dumb broad who apparently has never even heard of the word. Clearly they included this because they thought the audience was too stupid and illiterate to know what hypothermia is. The cast is good but, like those enjoyable '70s disaster flicks, there are some ridiculous characters. Vanessa Bell Calloway's Jamaican accent was laughable. That's one of those bits of business movies like this throw in that is totally unnecessary and just makes things goofier than they need to be. Viggo Mortensen's character seems like he's disposed of before they can do anything really interesting with him. It's a good movie, though, with some nice action and tension. One of Sly's better '90s movies.
