Variety

A lean, enjoyable disaster story that happily spends more time focusing on character than spectacle, though visual effects are impressive.

The Hollywood Reporter

Infusing its nightmarish scenario with bracing doses of satirical humor, Tunnel is smarter and more sophisticated than most Hollywood attempts at the genre.

Los Angeles Times

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.

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.

South China Morning Post

A thoroughly engaging drama that is peppered with both improbably dark humour and pungent attempts at social commentary.

Rated: 3.5/5

This movie is showcasing the faults within the Korean society where broadcasting and lookism are more important than human beings. Korean movies in general have a tendency of calling out the systems within society, and this movie did not disappoint.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Good not great, gets better as it goes. Problem is characters make dumb decisions lots of unrealistic things going on despite this being based on reality. Shows potential but poor writing holds it off from being anything special.

Impressively thrilling but a bit too much drama (as usually seen in Korean movies).

Why did they have to do that to the dog at the end? WHY???? the dog had an owner! I would have given it 10/10 if it wasn't for that.
