By the numbers excitement

Technically this is not badly done; lighting, pacing, acting, effects are all good value for the budget.BUT honestly it feels like a movie put together by an AI... Take the formula for this sort of movie since at least the 70s (various disparate individuals in trouble, some family conflict, some stupid behavior, some heroic behavior) and just transplant it to Norway.It's raised ever so slightly above the average by the scenes of how traffic control works from the inside, but there are far too few of these. I kept thinking of how someone like Aaron Sorensen (for all his predictability) could have made it so much better, with constant small speeches and explanations between the various characters saying things like "we do it this because in the fire at xyx in 2006 such and such and happened." It's adding in this background texture, not just plot but a feeling that you understand some of why the system works as it does, that makes a movie like this better than a thousand similar movies...

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
