AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Stephen Bird So Eddie Murphy wanted to make a more serious cop film this time around, after producing a string of comedies, well, he should've just stuck to making more of those comedies..., I personally don't believe serious acting is for him; throughout the film I wanted to laugh, even though the film wasn't funny, was it simply Eddie Murphy's presence that made me react that way?On ground level, "Metro" wasn't all that bad, just a load of clichés bundled together to create a movie I had seen many times before, only under a different title and with different actors.The film's beginning is just a way to build Murphy up for the inevitable cop chases baddie plot..., so yeah at the start it's all about showing what a 'bad-ass' negotiator Scott Roper (Murphy) is and setting the back story revolving around his relationship with his girlfriend up.Then "Metro" really begins, Roper foils a bank robbery and relentlessly pursues the bank's robber, eventually apprehending the culprit and getting him hauled off to prison, it's over right?Nope!The bank robber wants vengeance and sets out after Roper's girlfriend, resulting in the last half hour of the movie. It was enjoyable I must admit but definitely wasn't anything special..., the only thing that excited me was seeing Eddie Murphy in something other than a comedy or family film.Watch if you must but you're not missing anything if you don't.

SnoopyStyle Scott Roper (Eddie Murphy) is the best hostage negotiator in the San Francisco Police Department. After rescuing hostages in a bank, he's given new partner Kevin McCall (Michael Rapaport) to train to take over. His recently broken up girlfriend Veronica Tate (Carmen Ejogo) is a newspaper reporter. His best friend Lieutenant Sam Baffert is investigating jewel thief Michael Korda (Michael Wincott) and is killed by him. Scott wants revenge but Captain Frank Solis is keeping him out of the investigation.Eddie Murphy is playing a loud-mouth police detective except he's not wisecracking funny like Axel Foley. He seems to have lost some of his comedic luster of his earlier work. Also Eddie is trying to go darker in this one. Michael Rapaport is basically playing the same kind of character but they don't have the best chemistry. The problem is that the script lacks intensity or sharpness. Eddie doesn't have quite the personality for this type of police drama either. The movie does have an extended car chase through the hills of SF which has some fun carnage.

arieliondotcom This is a "Die Hard" movie with Eddie Murphy in the role of Bruce Willis. That sounds like a joke and that's the problem. Is it an action movie? Comedy? Comedy about an action movie? It keeps veering from one to another like one of the cars in the car chases. Eddie Murphy is a lot of things but no Bruce Willis. And the movie is always on the brink of being a parody rather than a straight action movie. There are screaming, helpless females (this is a 90's movie...those types of women aren't seen in movies these days), car chases & crashes, only very few intentional laughs. It's an anachronism but not a bad way to pass the time. It's Die Hard with a Black man. And it's A' ight...

jamiecostelo58 Eddie Murphy tries to act serious as well as funny as Detective Scott Roper, and he actually carries it off rather well. Wanting revenge for his partner's death, he's led on a dangerous cat-and-mouse game with Michael Wincott, who will not let him win easily...The main highlights of Metro are a thrilling car chase sequence and the explosive ending! This is not the best film I have ever seen, but Wincott is immensely good as criminal Korda, displaying an almost never-ending desire to bring Roper down, even if it means double murder....Metro is a fast-paced thrilling (and funny) movie from start to finish containing many startling and cunning plots that may seem a little odd at first but smoothing out to a satisfactory conclusion. I can definitely understand why it was a huge success at the box-office: it is very enjoyable!
