A man is on his way home to his family when the poorly constructed tunnel he is driving through collapses, leaving him trapped. With draining cell phone battery power and a rescue effort that might end before they locate him, days pass by without success, and the people start to lose hope. (Locarno Festival)

To make a two-hour film about a man trapped in a collapsed tunnel requires some skill or a compelling story to tell. And the Korean filmmakers clearly had a story to tell. The film never bores, essentially not even for a moment, which is due to the excellent performances by the actors, as well as the well-crafted scenes in the tunnel.

A more than decent disaster survival drama in the rubble of a tunnel with the excellent Jeong-woo Ha and the fair saviour Dal-soo Oh. At first I was worried because the whole event occurs at the 10th minute and I wondered what would happen for the remaining two hours. Fortunately there are some unexpected surprises and the rescuers' actions around the tunnel are interesting. It's suspenseful, claustrophobic, the acting and visuals are decent, and it's pleasantly moving towards the end. Fine entertainment in the style of Buried. 75%
