Hostage negotiator Scott Roper's wisecracking personality and devil-may-care manner might sometimes arouse the ire of his sergeant, but he's the only man for the job when a demented killer terrorizes the streets of San Francisco. A textbook role for Murphy, who also executive produces. [More]

Reviews for Metro
The big action scenes are cleverly staged and Eddie Murphy is back on his game again, with a high-energy performance and crisp dialogue.
Yet another 'buddy' or 'Odd Couple' cop movie that isn't particularly groundbreaking or memorable.
A gilded if gritty rehash of damn near every buddy-cop movie ever made.
Balancing the elements of comedy and drama are never easy and Metro, Eddie Murphy's latest flick, proves how easy it is to mistep.
The movie drags in the slow parts, and the action sequences go on too long.
For fans of Murphy or the action genre, Metro is A-okay mindless fun.
By-the-numbers doesn't begin to describe how cliche-ridden Randy Feldman's script is.
