Product Description:
FAST-TALKING SCOTT ROGER IS A HOSTAGE NEGOTIATOR WHOSE UNORTHODOX BUT WINNING WAYS MAKE HIM THE SAN FRANCISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT'S TOP ARBITRATOR. NOW HE'S MET HIS MATCH WHEN HE COMES FACE TO FACE WITH A PSYCHOTIC KILLER IN A LETHAL GAME OF CAT AND MOUSE.
Amazon.com:
Another Eddie Murphy action vehicle that pales in comparison to hits like Beverly Hills Cop, this standard cop movie fare still manages to be engaging on the strength of Murphy's ease in front of a camera. Murphy plays an unorthodox hostage negotiator for the San Francisco Police Department on the trail of the criminal who killed his partner. Paired up with a bright new trainee played by Michael Rapaport (Beautiful Girls, Mighty Aphrodite), Murphy uses both his skills and his anger to hunt down the killer. A competent action movie, there are some standout moments such as a car chase culminating in a cable car shoot-out on the streets of San Francisco, and Michael Wincott's (The Crow) frightening performance as the villain. Metro offers up a standard action vehicle for Murphy to showcase his charm, as well as a moderate entertainment with some memorable moments. --Robert Lane

Michael Wincott made the movie as the physco killer, the movie was predictable as Murphy being superman saving the day. I almost expected him to start flying with a cape. Some of the action situation scenes has Murphy catching the bad Guy with unbelievable stunts. Michael Wincott is by far a superior actor, and should be the starring actor, but, he's not Black. Murphy should stick to comedy on stage.

I agree with the spotlight reviewer that every time Eddie Murphy plays a different character from Axel Foley everybody starts to dismiss the movie. But Metro was pretty good and Eddie Murphy excelled in a role nobody expected him to excel in: the serious role.
Plot/spoiler: Eddie Murphy plays a cop/negotiator who meets his match with a twisted villain, Michael Korda(Michael Wincott) kills his partner and he sets out to bust him. With the help of a new trainee, Kevin McCall(Michael Rapaport) ... Read More

I can't believe some of these reviews. Eddie Murphy gave a great performance in this one, as did everyone else. Metro is the story of how a big-shot detective, Scott Roper (Eddie Murphy) cracks a hard case. Now, the convict has actually broken out and taken someone dear to Roper hostage. It's up to Roper to retrieve not only the stolen goods, but now to rescue his girlfriend and put an end to all this chaos. This is a well-played Murphy role and should be seen at least once.

This not Murphy's best movie. However, it is a very good movie. Not predictable as some believe. The bad guy, Michael Rappaport, is especially well known from other similar roles. So do expect some nasty treatment to people. I for one kept expecting his partner or girlfriend to be killed. I wasn't exactly on the edge of my seat, but you will have to wait till the end to see if they survive. The rest the cast does a good job of support.
I paid about half of what Amazon is selling this movie for ... Read More

This film is lackluster and often unintentionally comical. Eddie Murphy is the Johnny Appleseed of handguns is this film. He uses a clip, tosses the weapon, uses a clip, tosses the weapon over and over and over again. San Francisco PD could solve their armed street crime problem easily if they would just get Murphy off the streets. He litters the streets with enough guns to arm a small army. Too much gun play, not enough consideration for a quality script. Give this picture a miss.
