'Metro'

Scene from this movie Eddie Murphy plays Scott Roper, a San Francisco Police Department hostage negotiator. Fate has saddled him with a gambling problem, but it's more quirk than vice. Charm and good looks have won him the attention of a pretty journalist, but she's begun spending time with a pro ballplayer. Superiors have ordered Roper to train a new partner, but he would rather not do that.

A crisis arrives in the form of a crime spree by a cop-killing jewel thief and his brutal, beef-witted cousin. In a series of chases, stalkings and hand-to-hand death struggles, Roper shows that he has the guns, guts and resourcefulness to whip these villains. -- Kevin McManus
