Review of Metro (1997) by Howard Feinstein for Variety — 14 Jan 2012
Murphy and the filmmakers clearly want to establish Murphy as an action hero in the mold of Stallone and Van Damme (Carter wrote the Stallone starrer “Tango & Cash” and co-scripted the Van Damme feature “Nowhere to Run”), but they lack the courage of their convictions.
Pic is bracketed by scenes of Eddie the funny man, just in case anybody forgets the performer’s roots.
