Of course Hollywood has kept its hand in, with efforts like \u201cSan Andreas\u201d and \u201cPompeii.\u201d But there have also been parries as far afield as China, whose enjoyably ridiculous, volcano-centric \u201cSkyfire\u201d from late 2019 only reached the U.S. this year.<\/p>\n<p>No country has been as assiduous in reviving that Charlton Heston spirit, however, as Norway \u2014 which has produced just three so far, but then that\u2019s a not-inconsiderable share of its big-budget feature output in recent years. First there was the rockslide\/avalanche\/tsunami\/flood whammy of 2015\u2019s \u201cThe Wave,\u201d then its self-explanatory 2018 sequel \u201cThe Quake.\u201d Now there\u2019s \u201cThe Tunnel,\u201d unrelated to the aforementioned save that it obviously wouldn\u2019t have been made without their commercially-successful act to follow.<\/p>\n<p>Solidly crafted if a bit uninspired, P\u00e5l \u00d8ie\u2019s thriller is like a horizontal, colder, sootier \u201cTowering Inferno\u201d minus the all-star-cast, though their soap-operatics are intact. It\u2019s getting released to virtual cinemas on March 12, with Samuel Goldwyn launching in actual U.S. theaters as well as wider VOD April 9.<\/p>\n<p>On Christmas Eve Day, everybody is heading home for the holidays, many through one or more of Norway\u2019s 1,100-plus tunnels. It\u2019s an awkward moment for stoic Stein (Thorbjorn Harr), because he\u2019d like to spend this vacation time with both the women in his life. But teenage daughter Elise (Ylva Lyng Fuglerud) clings to the memory of the mother who died of cancer three years ago, and thus resents his finally \u201cmoving on\u201d from that spousal loss with cafe owner Ingrid (Lisa Carlehed). When dad proposes they celebrate Christmas as a trio, his only child storms out in a huff, impulsively catching an express bus to Oslo.<\/p>\n<p>That proves an unfortunate choice, as the five-mile tunnel through a nearby mountain pass \u2014 whose maintenance and safety have comprised civil servant Stein\u2019s longtime work \u2014 is about to suffer blockage. Amid already-treacherous icy road conditions, a trucker panicked by fleeting visual impairment crashes against the tunnel walls, disabling his vehicle and halting a long line of impatient drivers behind him. That\u2019s bad enough. But things get a lot worse when an electrical short and his leaking gasoline cargo ignite. Those not incinerated in the im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te vicinity are nonetheless threatened by the black cloud of smoke that soon fills the entire narrow expanse filled with tr<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ed <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ers.<\/p>\n<p>His vacation over before it\u2019s begun, Stein is called to the emergency scene along with other first responders including cocky young Ivar (Mikkel Bratt Silset), who\u2019s exactly the kind of irate loudmouth you know will buckle under pressure. Additional major figures here are personnel at the Road Traffic Control Center in Bergen; a family with two young daughters who get separated in the melee; and fellow bus passengers led to temporary safety by Elise, who thanks to dad knows the tunnel like the back of her hand.<\/p>\n<p>Suffocation is not the most cinematic of perils, so after initial catastrophes have occurred around the 45-minute mark, \u201cThe Tunnel\u201d finds its drama a bit stuck, in more ways than one. Characters at risk are in a pitch-black, airless interior, while all the light and spectacular scenery is outside, where emergency workers worry how to rescue them. There\u2019s a degree of grim tension for a while. Then things get a tad monotonous, unrelieved by the tendency of Kjersti Helen Rasmussen\u2019s screenplay to lean hard on maudlin parent-child crises. Some earnest emotionality is welcome, but a few tears go a long way in a popcorn enterprise of this nature. The filmmakers overestimate how many noble sacrifices and pleading \u201cDon\u2019t die!!\u201d moments one disaster flick can take.<\/p>\n<p>While decently paced (frequent \u00d8ie collaborator Sjur Aarthun is both editor and cinematographer here), the film also settles into an inevitable eventual rut when there is little real action, just searching and waiting. We\u2019re all too aware, once a late additional peril arrives to endanger nearly-rescued protagonists, that it\u2019s been grafted on to yank the slackened narrative tension taut again.<\/p>\n<p>That said, \u201cThe Tunnel\u201d is still involving enough, if not as physically impressive or fun as \u201cWave\u201d or \u201cQuake.\u201d The cast <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly underplays to good effect, with Harr (best known abroad for a role on \u201cVikings\u201d several seasons ago) shouldering the principal manly burden of fearless duty with quiet, convincing aplomb. Directing the first feature script he hasn\u2019t had a hand in writing, \u00d8ie nimbly bounces back to genre terrain (though not the flat-out horror of prior features) after arthouse biopic \u201cAstrup,\u201d which came out just a couple months before \u201cTunnelen\u2019s\u201d Christmas 2019 home-turf opening.<\/p>\n<p>That period drama was presumably a greater labor of love than this competently crafted, large-scaled entertainment. \u201cThe Tunnel\u201d is very much redolent of earlier disaster epics, albeit while stinting on their guilty-pleasure cheese factor without quite achieving compensatory depth or memorable thrills.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
