Diverting but conventional thriller.

Another forgettable and clueless cut-up cop caper with Murphy in the middle of the misguided mayhem. Instantly generic and mindless to boot

Metro is about as generic as action pictures come.
April 17, 2002
Balancing the elements of comedy and drama are never easy and Metro, Eddie Murphy's latest flick, proves how easy it is to mistep.
January 01, 2000
Despite Murphy's consistently strong performance, Metro meanders into a rather unremarkable cat-and-mouse territory.
February 14, 2001
By-the-numbers doesn't begin to describe how cliche-ridden Randy Feldman's script is.
January 01, 2000
Anyone seeking a fresh characterization of clever plot twist ought not to buy a ride of this Murphy vehicle.
January 01, 2000
The big action scenes are cleverly staged and Eddie Murphy is back on his game again, with a high-energy performance and crisp dialogue.

"moronic action film"
January 01, 2000
For fans of Murphy or the action genre, Metro is A-okay mindless fun.

A renter with some mileage on it.

Formulaic but effective.
