The movie opens with a seemingly great day for Jung Soo (Ha Jung-Woo) when he receives a great deal from the customer while driving home and through a mountain tunnel. But everything suddenly turned into a nightmare when the tunnel section collapsed and buried Jung Soo in the ground, under hundreds of thousands of tons of concrete and rock.
Review:
The film was made based on the novel of the same name by writer So Jae Won, first published in 2013. The Tunnel got very fast when introducing briefly about the main character Lee Jung Soo (Ha Jung Woo). He is a salesperson of a famous car company, on his way home to his daughter's birthday party.
While driving through the newly opened tunnel of Hado City, the building suddenly collapsed, burying Jung Soo under the ruins. Fortunately, he survived, can use the phone to call out for help. The South Korean national rescue force immediately arrived to rescue the trapped victim.
The drama was very fast when immediately put the main character Jung Soo in a situation where the hair hanging in the tunnel collapsed.
Tunnel is a very engaging movie at two-thirds of its original length. During this time, the film can be considered an interesting combination of Cast Away or 127 Hours with a protagonist who is in trouble and isolated in a harsh environment, must find a way to survive. The other half of the film talks about people outside the tunnel who are struggling with rescue, the public, and the press ... The two halves are linked and interact quite smoothly through meetings. telephones, radio news, etc. Director Kim Seong-hun is also a skillful writer of how to build situations and develop characters' personalities. Jung Soo, though half-hearted when yielding water to another victim in the tunnel collapse, still hesitated and hesitated when considering his chances of survival. He didn't panic after he was buried, but there was a moment of utter despair. Or as the captain of the rescue team Dae Kyung, although wholeheartedly for the life and death of the victims, there are times when it seems that they have to surrender and surrender. Se Hyun - Jung Soo's wife always looks a bit miserable and not someone who withstands too much pressure. The characters in the movie are all well built and make the audience believe that they are real people with real emotions, they act exactly like what can happen in real life. Part quite bright is the behavior of the press, the tycoons involved in tunnel construction and the government ... These are all true and equally interesting details. Each side pursues a purpose of its own good. Therefore, they are willing to not care about the interests of the remaining parties.
The main content of the Tunnel is relatively simple, completely similar to what was introduced through the trailers. Unlike many other works of the same type that often take the first time to introduce characters, circumstances, Kim Sung Hoon's movie almost skip that stage, immediately pushing Jung Soo into disaster with no signs. notice.
According to the filmmaker, his intention is to create climax that appeals to the audience from the beginning, and has time to gradually reveal the ideas that he wants to convey in the following section. Because Tunnel itself is not just a work of disaster, mere survival. It also addresses much more far-reaching and far-reaching social problems.
Basically, the main content of Tunnel is still Jung Soo's battle of survival when he is buried in the tunnel. At the same time, outside, the rescue force has taken every step to rescue the character. The two story lines take place in parallel and support each other continuously.
The whole process of maintaining and fighting for Jung Soo's life was directed by Kim Sung Hoon. From the beginning, just how the character can move and move yourself when the body is stuck in the car, amidst thousands of tons of reinforced concrete directly pouring down, is enough to make the audience feel stress.

In addition, the difference of Tunnel compared to many works of the same genre is that director Kim Sung Hoon always maintains a somewhat optimistic and positive atmosphere, even though the circumstances of the protagonist are tragic and hopeless.
From the beginning to the end of the movie, Jung Soo faced many difficult moments, experienced many emotions, even separated life. But he rarely fell into excessive depression. It helps Tunnel avoid the hype, or excessive tear use that audiences often see in Korean cinema.
However, the biggest highlight of the Tunnel is outside the motif of survival. The film strongly criticized and attacked a variety of organizations and individuals outside society involved when disaster struck.
Those are the merciful media and newspapers, hawks, just for profit-seeking, despite everything, willing to do the most ridiculous things to make money on the suffering and lives of others. .
It is government officials who are responsible when confronted with the problem, but then appear to be the names of those who are anonymous, just take care of building false images. They are also economic groups with poor quality construction projects, until the accident they revealed their mistakes, but they did not care to remedy the consequences.
What takes place outside the collapsed tunnel is worth watching when it gives viewers the rotten picture of modern Korean society.
When the rescue process of Jung Soo affected the construction of another tunnel, the investment group was determined to ignore how he lived and died, forcing the rescue force to end the work in order to continue. construct.
Meanwhile, rescuers who are the most responsible are all clumsy, weak in terms of expertise, and have a limited voice in society.
Throughout the movie, director Kim Sung Hoon's ideal is conveyed through the image of the captain of the rescue team Dae Kyung (Oh Dal Su). Dae Kyung is responsible, compassionate, but his role is too small to make a decisive voice.
He was helpless as he watched the victim die and die day by day. When talking with Jung Soo, Dae Kyung always repeated a "sorry" sentence, showing the sincere but heartless impulses of the people still conscience in society today.
It can be said that Tunnel is a critical and mocking voice of contemporary contempt directly and full of splendor. It is those who have money, power, but inhumane, eager, and merciful are the worst disaster that Jung Soo or any honest people suffer every day.
The shoddy buildings with the potential to collapse anytime soon are just the product of a corrupt system.
Possessing a praiseworthy highlight when social satire, but unfortunately, Tunnel still exists many blemishes. Perhaps because of the focus on the lashing lines, the film was strayed too far from the disaster and survival genre. As a result, the script part became spread, resulting in a series of problems.
The audience easily recognizes many unrealistic details, logical holes in the script, especially when Jung Soo must find a way to survive while being buried. The basic knowledge of survival is mentioned quite rarely and often violated by the protagonist, difficult to accept.
Jung Soo's fight for survival still contains too many irrational details. Photo: Showbox.
For example, in conditions buried under dense rocky soil, ready to collapse at any time, the character still recklessly moves from place to place without any reservations.
Described as being short of food and water, Jung Soo is able to keep himself alive miraculously through an incredible amount of time, exceeding the limits of ordinary people and even almost There was no sign of fatigue or exhaustion.
Similarly, the audience will surely laugh at the unrealistic endurance of the smartphone that Jung Soo uses throughout the movie. For a work in the genre of survival, such logical errors are very difficult to accept.
All of which accidentally lowered the quality of Tunnel, making the film a rather half-hearted work due to being too greedy in expressing ideas.
Overall, Tunnel is still an intriguing disaster film, especially with its deep, contemporary social criticism. Despite containing many unfortunate shortcomings, this is still a work worth watching, especially for those who have fallen in love with the ironic laughter of director Kim Sung Hoon from A Hard Day.
