Jay Weissberg Variety Sep 6, 2016
A lean, enjoyable disaster story that happily spends more time focusing on character than spectacle, though visual effects are impressive. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Sep 6, 2016
Infusing its nightmarish scenario with bracing doses of satirical humor, Tunnel is smarter and more sophisticated than most Hollywood attempts at the genre. Go to Full Review
Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Aug 25, 2016
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. Go to Full Review

Fantastic survival drama-type film. Go to Full Review
Dorothy Woodend The Tyee (British Columbia) Aug 15, 2017
The film is not without its faults. . .But there's also a big payoff and a penultimate scene that is hilarious and obscene and completely justified. There is a great deal to love here. Go to Full Review
Edmund Lee South China Morning Post Mar 7, 2017
3.5/5
A thoroughly engaging drama that is peppered with both improbably dark humour and pungent attempts at social commentary. Go to Full Review

Finn L Dec 30, 2018 Hard to watch. Raises many moral dilemmas, but there is one clear point: there is a need for both regulation and enforcement. The absence of either one lines the pockets of the capitalists with blood money. See more
Apr 8, 2018 The movie was accelerating..
Theodore P Mar 17, 2018 Tense and emotional, 'Tunnel' draws the absolute maximum in drama out of its story, with excellent acting from the cast, as well as great directing and cinematography. It will have you hanging on the fate of the trapped main character, living his ups and downs right along with him. The atmosphere's palpable and brings the situation to vivid life, a situation that I think it's safe to say is pretty high up the list as far as nightmares go -- for the trapped, for the rescue teams, for the family outside - and certainly a Claustrophobic's worst fear come true.

George S Dec 25, 2017 This is a fine story to pass your time. Charming character-piece that you can get behind with bits of levity sprinkled through the tragedy. It's not visually inviting since it is mostly dark - stuck in the tunnel. And few emotional scenes feel forced upon the audience, queuing you the teary moments out front. Overall, it's simple, engaging, and enjoyable movie you can easily watch with your family or friends. See more
Luke M Nov 28, 2017 Really good, tense and interesting. Sad and scary, a perfect survival movie. It never tried to do much more than that, so it seems Kim Seong-hun made just the movie he wanted to. See more
Albus S Nov 21, 2017 The movie was enjoyable to watch, yet it had some flaws. Some scenes were shocking, and the acting was sufficient.
