I have never seen a movie where the victims so deserved to die. A dozen of the most annoying and ungrateful people get trapped in the Hudson Tunnel after an explosion. Kit Latura (Sylvester Stallone), disgraced ex-chief of the city's Emergency Medical Services, volunteers to find a way in and bring out the survivors before their air runs out. If I was him, I not only would have left them behind, but I would have looked for a way to make sure they couldn't get out.
