    Oh man, this is a fine example of mediocrity and Eddie should have known better.

    I like to see Eddie cuss just like everyone else and it seems that this is the only reason to have him here. Love the guy, but he is coasting here.

    The flick does benefit from having Michael Wincott as the bad guy. He is always dependable in these types of roles and he does a pretty good job here, helping to make it watchable.

    As a thriller, it's facile and lazy, as an Eddie Murphy vehicle it's pretty disappointing.

    This isn't an awful movie at all.
    Murphy gives an excellent performance but this movie is simply just a rental. This is the type of movie i put on while I'm tired, because i know I'll go to sleep faster...

    i was bored and i watched it and the only funny part was the ending. ><

    A typical dim-witted action movie that is actually much better than you'd think, especially considering the starring role is filled by Murphy who surely hasn't made a decent live action film since Beverly Hills Cop. The set pieces are well done, particularly a thrilling chase sequence involving a tram, and Michael Wincott is the best psychotic villain this side of Gary Oldman. Brainless but fun.

    This mpovie is great not because of Rappaport or Murphy,but for Michael Wincott. The villian. He's good in anything he chooses totake on,and it shows here. He is instantly recognisable when you see him.

    I thought this was going to be a comedy, not a cop drakma, but whatever, Eddie Murphy is cool with me.

    A pretty cool action thriller, unfortunately promoted as a comedy. Eddie wisecracks where appropriate, but this tale of a hostage negotiator and a sharpshooter on the trail of a serial killer is gripping and tightly directed. Michael Wincott always makes a great villain.

    He was really trying to bring back the whole Beverly Hills Cop thing with this one and it just didn't fly.

    After I'd seen Murphy in a couple of..well, maybe not mediocre movies, but..he surprised me in this one. I think he benefited from being..not quiet, but a little more toned-down than usual.

    I found this movie really good full of action and adventure, with a lot of nail biting parts to it, but all in all it finishes good.

    No one saw this film and the folk who did HATE it, but it has some of the BEST ACTION including a great car chase through the HILLS of SAN FRANCISCO...

    Eddie Murphy tries to recreate the success of the Beverley Hills Cop movies but largely fails since he seems to be having a lot less fun. This is good but not great.

    Saw this on holiday in the Lake District - trapped in a caravan by the rain. The sheer lack of anything else to do made it watchable.

    Metro is a very exciting and enjoyable police action-thriller. Eddie Murphy is very good in one of his more serious roles. Also, the action scenes were top notch, from the opening bank robbery scene, to the famous cable car chase. Fans of Eddie Murphy's comedy may be disappointed in the film, since it has a more serious tone to it and focuses more on action than comedy, but action fans will definitely enjoy this one.
