Leave your thoughts about Metro.
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIt's the rare portrait of a happy marriage that is honest about the complex currents of desire, and the drama is beautifully played by Bale, who gawks with soulful sweetness, and Watson, who does her most piercing work since "Breaking the Waves." |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackA sexy, moody comedy that plays like a dreamy comic novel. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie works well on its chosen level. The big action scenes are cleverly staged and Eddie Murphy is back on his game again, with a high-energy performance and crisp dialogue. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasNo effort has been stinted in polishing this painfully derivative picture as if it were a diamond instead of strictly paste. Director Thomas Carter keeps things moving, Fred Murphy's camera work gleams, but at three minutes short of two hours, "Metro" seems drawn-out and wearying. Well, here's something, at least: It does leave you mildly curious as to why the bad guy is called Michael Korda--the very name of a noted author and editor in his own right. |
| SlateDavid EdelsteinWhile it's true that you can't pack as much psychological detail into a movie as you can into a novel, director Philip Saville and screenwriter Adrian Hodges bring out the yeasty subtext of even the most brittle encounters. |
| TimeRichard SchickelMetroland finally makes a good, subtle case for the bearable weightiness of middle-class being, for the higher morality of muddling through. |
| VarietyDavid RooneyA witty script and strong performances hoist Metroland beyond the confines of its rather standard, TV-style approach. |
| Village VoiceJustine EliasAn unflashy tale of memory and desire in suburban London. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanDirector Philip Saville, working from a script by Adrian Hodges (which, in turn, is based on the novel by Julian Barnes), has crafted a competent, character-based tale, but the issues examined are stale, and Saville is unable to find a way to take the story to a newer, more interesting level |
| Austin ChronicleRussell SmithThis is one of those rare cop/action movies driven by character, not spectacle. Murphy helps the cause with the most focused, persuasive acting of his career. As a young phenom, he got by on charisma, which he promptly commodified and cheapened with Hollywood’s enthusiastic collusion. Now there’s a calm, unfakeable assurance behind his eyes that only comes with life experience. It’s something he can and should build on. |
