On his way home for his daughter's birthday, Lee Jung-Soo drives into a tunnel that collapses and traps his car under tons of debris. As the government sets up an accident task force, public opinion slowly divides on whether to save him or leave him to die for the completion of a second tunnel nearby.

What are critics saying?
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Infusing its nightmarish scenario with bracing doses of satirical humor, Tunnel is smarter and more sophisticated than most Hollywood attempts at the genre.
Too often the mechanisms of plot can be felt, the beats of the story seen, and the obvious intentions of the story heard in a line of dialogue. So, while at times it’s easy to see the great film that Tunnel could have been, that never stops it from being perfectly watchable thriller that it is.
Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein
Unfortunately, there’s not enough story here to warrant the film’s more than two-hour running time; 90 taut minutes tracking a week in the ruined tunnel would have sufficed. Still, it’s a vivid and relatable tale.
While Kim Seong-hun’s Tunnel sounds like it resembles any number of creepy tunnel pics or grand catastrophe epics, it’s actually a lean, enjoyable disaster story with enough distinctive elements to make it feel relatively fresh.
The Seattle Times by Tom Keogh
A harrowing spectacle that makes one forget to breathe.
