Review of Metro

Metro (I) (2013)
7/10
A decent movie
27 February 2024
Other then the flooding of the tunnel, few will forget the scenes of gridlock traffic. And some fairly amusing scenes when the authorities tried to cut off film coverage. But overall a rewarding movie to watch. The special effects were good, although I thought the slo-mo scenes inside the crash were perhaps a bit too long, but certainly showed how people can get thrown around in a crash. In some ways a nod to Hollywood, with a love interest, a budding attraction with two of the characters who had not met until the subway, the husband and the man who bedded his wife, the daughter and even throwing in a cute dog. And they built up the tension at just the right points. It was dubbed, but perhaps not the best choices for the vocals. In it nice once in a while to get a disaster movie from a different perspective, and Russian movies can certainly do that if they have a decent budget. It is not a documentary on how a subway works, and one has to suspend belief that the control room was real for a massive system.
