Plot Summary
Megastar Eddie Murphy (The Nutty Professor, Beverly Hills Cop series) teams with Michael Rapaport (Beautiful Girls) and Michael Wincott (The Crow) in this wildly entertaining, action-packed hit! Murphy plays Scott Roper, a fast-talking, wisecracking, on-the-edge hostage negotiator whose offbeat-but-winning style has made him San Francisco's top mediator! Roper will say ... and do ... absolutely anything to get his man. But when he comes face to face with a psychotic killer who's playing a lethal game of cat and mouse, he's finally met his match! Don't miss the excitement as the always amusing Murphy packs Metro with outrageous action that has critics and audiences cheering!

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Despite Murphy's consistently strong performance, Metro meanders into a rather unremarkable cat-and-mouse territory.
Rotten: By-the-numbers doesn't begin to describe how cliche-ridden Randy Feldman's script is.
Rotten: Murphy is fresh, as usual, but Metro is not.
Rotten: Anyone seeking a fresh characterization of clever plot twist ought not to buy a ride of this Murphy vehicle.
