METRO (DIDIER BECU)

Well, you feel sorry for Eddie Murphy when you are watching this movie as it is one from the times he still mattered as an actor and where movies by him were a synonym for great entertainment. I always thought that he was better in actionmovies then in the tons of comedies he starred in, so here he is a cop who has no fear and call it Beverly Hills Cop IV and you won't note anything different as his character is almost completely the same but still "Metro" works. The scenario is kind of simple, Eddie's best friend got shot by some diamondthief and that of course asks for revenge...pretty stupid you say, perhaps but then you haven't counted the superb stunts (the scene with the tramway is great) and the brilliant villain that is played by Michael Wincott. Quite good movie but why the hell is it called Metro? Not a subway in sight!!!
