Metro is a 1997 American action comedy drama film directed by Thomas Carter, written by Randy Feldman, and produced by Roger Birnbaum.

Scott resolves to bring Korda to justice, but in the meantime he must adjust to his new partner, SWAT sharpshooter Kevin McCall.

The next morning, Korda escapes from the jail and kidnaps Ronnie, leading Scott and Kevin into a confrontation at an abandoned shipyard.

Korda charges toward Scott in a sports car, but is shot from a vantage point by Kevin, causing him to swerve and crash through the warehouse entrance.

[5] Roger Ebert gave the film a favorable review; he said "[t]he big action scenes are cleverly staged and Eddie Murphy is back on his game again, with a high-energy performance and crisp dialogue.

"[6] A negative review came from Stephen Holden of The New York Times, who called the film "aimless" and stated that "[t]he vehicular pirouettes and ski jumps are so exaggerated that they correspond neither to the urban geography nor to the laws of physics.

And the jiggling camera can't blur the careless mechanical stitching in a sequence that tries to make up for in length what it lacks in inventiveness.

"[7] Michael Wilmington agreed, saying "If it weren't for all the jokes [...] the movie might be unintentionally funny," and that "For most of the people who made "Metro," shamelessness is probably a virtue, like good muscle tone.

At the end, writer Feldman has actually dreamed up a variation on the old silent movie chestnut, where the mustache-twirling villain has the heroine tied to a sawmill plank.

And, except for Murphy's rapid-fire badinage, "Metro" has the kind of writing that suggests a mind filled with heroines tied to sawmill planks.

"[9] Bill Coswell from Laughing Place praised the film's dialogue and the performances of Murphy and Wincott, while criticizing the plot as "riddled with action movie cliches" and describing the scene where Korda breaks out of jail as laughably preposterous.

[11] Director Thomas Carter said that one of the biggest mistakes he made in his career was to make Metro as a rated-R movie.
