"A loud and often stupid action thriller in which director Thomas Carter has every screaming psycho killer and every hysterical hostage behaving identically" | NEG |

United States |

"It's shameless. The relationships, plot turns -- even the action sequences -- are trite and uninspired" | POS |

"Anyone seeking a fresh characterization or clever plot twist ought not to buy a ride on this Murphy vehicle" | NEG |

"It never aspires to be high art—even the title is meaningless—but Metro is too lazily assembled, and too stingy with the jokes, to even live up to its modest ambitions." | NEG |

"Murphy and the filmmakers clearly want to establish Murphy as an action hero in the mold of Stallone and Van Damme, but they lack the courage of their convictions." | NEG |
