Review of Daylight (1996) by Eric H — 14 Dec 2015
This is another failed film primarily because everything seems to have been modified in order to enhance Stallone's character and performance. If all changes and cuts in the original script hadn't been that evident we could have witnessed a pretty good action film.
Some of the characters such as the ones played by Jo Anderson and Viggo Mortensen have been dramatically amputated, mostly in the last case, after an impeccable introduction. In this particular case, such a portrayal of a character is rendered illogical and superfluous by its hasty and unexpected disappearance.
Mortensen's character could have meant a very interesting counterpoint to the one played by Sly, however, all this seems to be sacrified for the one hero's sake. Conclusion: another boring action movie full of flat types and topics.
