User Reviews

a little flat and slow

But really raise the fears of going through long mountain and undersea road tunnels. i felt the hairs in my neck coldfreezing and the summit of fear and action so theyve managed to make a reliable and close to reality pandemonistic human tragedy inside a hole in norwegian rocks.

its a bit slow, and the plot and key caracters are to some extent mediocre, and some of the advisory aint correct, so do not use in a case of emergency. filming and effects though are very nice, some of the soundwork eminent but not all. east and west is hard to say, and could easily have been told somewhere in the plot.acting is plain average, nothing extraordinary.

but its a great film for the saturday pizza party, once in a while you forget that youre in your own living room watching this film, so therefore a recommend from the grumpy old man
