Watchable and modestly entertaining despite a lot on caricatures instead of realistic people.
"Short Walk to Daylight" is an installment of "The ABC Movie of the Week" and is available now on YouTube...along with many other "Movie of the Week" flicks.
This one is nothing extraordinary, though the sets and special effects are very nice. The characters, sadly, are mostly caricatures and occasionally rather annoying.
When the film begins, some folks board a subway car. Shortly after they begin their trip, there's an earthquake (hardly likely in New York City) and they spend the rest of the film trying to find a way out of their subterranean coffin.
As far as the characters go, my biggest complaint about the film, they mostly seem one-dimensional...such as the druggies, the angry black man, the cop (James Brolin), etc....all more plot devices as opposed to people you really would expect to meet in the city. Overall, a mild time-passer and nothing more.
