Review
A star rating of 3 out of 5.
Jayne Nelson
Norway's mountains are riddled with traffic tunnels that are sometimes inaccessible in the worst snows of winter, which makes them the perfect setting for this tense disaster movie. When a petrol tanker crashes and explodes deep inside one such tunnel, dozens of vehicles are sealed inside, their occupants slowly choking on the fumes. With the main rescue teams blocked by snow, their survival lies in the hands of a small team led by Thorbjorn Harr's stern firefighter, whose rebellious daughter (Ylva Fuglerud) is one of the trapped. The film's initial scene-setting and character introductions are trite (did Fuglerud really have to be running away from home?), but once that tanker explodes, the film's pace ramps up and you'll be almost as sweaty-palmed and panicked as the poor folks trapped in the tunnel.
