She's cute, has a very sexy English accent, and works as a photojournalist. She and Roper are on the outs, which is why she's dating a hot shot baseball player, but Metro never introduces any other competition, so the reunion is a done deal. No problem, it's what we expect. Metro is set in the lovely city of San Francisco, home to lots of hills and cable cars. Cable cars travel a straight line and can't exactly get away from a cop-driven car, but Metro' s action sequence is an arresting piece of visual choreography.
Cars go flying.
Bullets go flying. Eddie Murphy goes flying Cadillac car to cable car and back again. As far as it goes, and it goes and goes, the sequence is right up there with Bullitt and French Connection and is the high point of the movie. Bringing us, finally, to the bad guy. His revenge is to take from Roper that which he loves most, the girlfriend.
