The Tunnel

I've been through a few long Norwegian tunnels and the idea of something like this happening to me is really scary. Fortunately, in Norway, the roads are not lined with the same kind of people as in rougher countries, so I was able to enjoy the transformation of the landscape after leaving the tunnel, which was often quite incredible... And now a little more about the film. The filmmakers managed to portray the crash very realistically, which of course I commend. It was a little worse with the stories of the rescued persons, in which there were several illogical snags. Fortunately, it wasn't anything so bad that it fundamentally spoiled my viewing experience.

Another decent disaster thriller from Norway. A petrol tanker truck crashes in a 9km tunnel at Christmas and disaster is on the way. The fire and rescue workers are instructed to stand outside the tunnel, but once one of the rescue workers learns that his daughter is in the tunnel, instructions and protocol go by the wayside and the situation becomes personal and he takes all responsibility on his own. The film moves at a slower pace, but the beginning of the disaster is very effective and unpleasant. Visually the film is of a high standard, the actors are fine, the suspense works and I enjoyed the emergency line actress who was professional throughout. Norwegians know how to do this kind of stuff. Story***, Action>No, Humor>No, Violence*, Entertainment****, Music***, Visual****, Atmosphere****, Suspense****. 7/10. (28/07/2020)
